Thursday 03/07/2008: 7.45am: Update 1.30pm

Summary: Early Showers.

Today: There have been some early showers and we may see one or two more through the morning. Some sunny spells will develop, especially this afternoon and it could well be a pleasant end to the day. SW breeze picking up through the afternoon. 1.30pm: There have been further showers this morning and we may see more this afternoon. Generally sunnier as the afternoon wears on.

Tonight: Clear spells and probably dry.

Friday: A fine morning with variable cloud and sunny spells. The sunshine should last into the afternoon but there will be an increase in cloud from the south later in the afternoon. An area of low pressure is gradually going to move north and bring rain and some quite strong winds up with it. The timing is uncertain at the moment, but rain is likely at some stage of Friday evening, possibly not until much later, with the wind picking up overnight into Saturday.

Saturday: Unsettled. Alot depends on the position of the area of low pressure that is going to be close by all weekend. At the moment, Saturday is looking windy or very windy at times with showery outbreaks of rain and brighter spells in between. Sunday: Again depends on where the area of low pressure moves to, but at the moment its looking unsettled, possibly windy with further showery outbreaks of rain.

Further Outlook: The latest Met Office extended outlook is shown below.
