It will be dry and partly cloudy to occasionally cloudy today. It will also become increasingly windy with fresh to locally strong south-westerly winds by the evening. It will be a dry, windy and cloudy start to the night but with light to moderate outbreaks of rain then spreading in from the north-west by about 0300. The morning will start cloudy, wet and windy with further rain, but turning dry with sunny spells and lighter winds developing from about 0800. RST's staying well above freezing at 7.5.

Breezy but dry apart from the odd light, fleeting shower in the afternoon. Dry and clear overnight into Saturday(with winds easing) but clouding over later in the night and through the morning with perhaps a little rain by midday. Minimum RSTs plus 1.
