Weather Forecast

Mostly dry and bright at first today, with some light rain is expected later . A little less windy for a time. Rain dying out overnight but staying cloudy. Also mild and windy.
Wednesday cloudy, with outbreaks of rain turning showery by evening. Windy with gales for much of the time. Thursday turning cooler, with showers becoming wintry by evening. Strong to gale winds perhaps easing for a time. Cold on Friday and Saturday, with snow showers and gale or severe gale N'ly winds. Some improvement on Sunday as winds ease.
Though probably a little less cold after the weekend, the remainder of the outlook period unsettled with showers or longer periods of rain. As winds � often strong � are expected to be NW�ly in direction, it is likely to be cool, so showers will be wintry at times.
