LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK

During Friday & over the weekend, the weather will become generally cooler & rather cloudy at times, though only occasional, small amounts of rainfall are expected ( Rather more further west ), together with some sunshine at times too. Temperatures by day are likely to peak in the 15 to 18 range, so mostly lower than over the past week or so. Another change will be in the strength of the wind, which over the period will be mostly westerly, but at times will blow up to force 4 or 5, perhaps gusts to 6.
