LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK

FRIDAY is expected to remain mostly cloudy, with a fresher wind from the ESE making it feel raw. Occasional rain is likely too, with best temperatures once again pegged at around 10.

WEEKEND---Sunday perhaps the better day, though not a weekend to write home about. One positive aspect should be that it begins to feel a little milder, as some of the warmer air from England slower reaches higher latitudes.
