Today's Forecast |
Dry but windy through the afternoon with sunny spells. Cloudy this evening and for the start of the night with moderate to locally heavy outbreaks of rain likely between 2000-2300 hours. The rain could be heavy enough to cause wash-off. Dry with clear spells for a time before moderate to locally heavy rain showers spread in from the north by about 0200. Again the showers could be locally heavy enough to cause wash-off. The showers should clear to the south by 0400. It will be colder behind that batch of showers for the end of the night/start of the morning with largely clear skies, and this will be the coldest part of the forecast period. Dry thereafter with largely clear skies. Minimum RSTs plus 1.5. |
