Today's Forecast |
Tuesday afternoon will be largely bright but remaining breezy, with isolated showers of rain at times, not expected to bring the risk of wash off. During the evening and the first part of the night isolated showers continuing but there will be some longer clear and dry spells allowing temperatures to drop quickly. RSTs are likely to drop close to freezing. Becoming increasingly cloudy from around 0500; bringing further showers of rain, possibly heavy enough to cause run off at times. The extra cloud will raise the temperatures somewhat as it moves in so ice is unlikely. Precipitation and cloud will clear into Wednesday morning to leave dry conditions with sunny spells. |

Wednesday | Wednesday afternoon will be dry and breezy with quite a lot of sunshine. It will be cloudy overnight with some light rain at times. RSTs are likely to stay above freezing.
