LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK

FRIDAY---Is expected to be generally more cloudy than Thursday, with the cloud on the hills at times. Though mainly dry, the odd patch of showery rain can't be totally ruled out.  Sunshine may well be in rather short supply.  Winds will continue in the SE & highest temperatures will again reach around a normal 14 degrees.

WEEKEND--Probably a dull start to SATURDAY, with misty low cloud & some fog patches too. The afternoon should be brighter, with a few sunny intervals. SUNDAY should be rather better--a mainly dry, bright day.
Throughout the weekend, winds will be in the SE, mainly light, with best temperatures around 14 or 15.   So in summary, nothing spectacular, but reasonable for the end of September.
