Today's Forecast |
There will be sunny spells and a few showers, some of which could be heavy through the latter part of the afternoon. The showers should ease by around 20:00, with the rest of the night dry and increasingly clear, allowing RSTs to fall below freezing on most roads with a risk of hoar frost. The roads should be dry by the time temperatures fall below freezing, so ice is not expected. Thursday morning will start dry and sunny, but some patchy cloud will develop towards midday, with perhaps a light shower. |
Outlook for the next four days (forecasts run from midday to midday) | |
Thursday |
There will be sunny spells and isolated rain showers during Thursday afternoon. It will be dry through the evening and overnight with largely clear skies. It will turn increasingly cloudy and breezy through Friday morning but it should remain dry. RST's staying above freezing. |
Friday |
Dry but cloudy and increasingly windy during Friday afternoon and evening. Cloudy, wet and windy overnight with light to occasionally moderate rain. The rain should slowly clear to the north during Saturday morning, allowing some drier and brighter weather to develop. RST's staying above freezing. |
Saturdayand Sunday |
Dry with sunny spells on Saturday. Dry during Saturday night with clear spells. Partly cloudy to cloudy with rain showers on Sunday. Rather cloudy during Sunday night and into Monday morning with further light rain showers possible. RST's stying above freezing on both nights. |
