Today's Forecast

It will be a largely fine afternoon with patchy cloud, sunny spells and scattered showers. There is a small chance of the odd isolated thundery shower with hail developing during this afternoon. Through this evening and overnight the cloud cover will tend to thicken up and this will give some light outbreaks of rain at times with drier spells inbetween. Winds will remain light and RSTs will stay above freezing. From dawn on Thursday it will remain cloudy with spells of showery rain.

 

Outlook for the next four days (forecasts run from midday to midday)
Thursday

Likely largely cloudy through the afternoon and evening, with isolated showers likely, some of which could be moderate to heavy with hail possible. There will also be a risk of thunder from any of the heavier showers. Becoming increasingly dry overnight as showers die away leaving some clear spells. Friday morning will see further showers affecting the area with patchy cloud. RST's staying above freezing

Friday

Friday afternoon and evening will likely be largely cloudy with frequent showers. Again these showers turning moderate to heavy at times with hail and the risk of thunder possible. Remaining similar overnight keeping RST's generally mild.

Saturday

and

Sunday

Cloud and showers should clear away through the afternoon on Saturday to become largely dry with clear spells into Saturday night. Likely generally dry with sunny spells through Sunday and remaining largely clear overnight into Monday.
