and a freshening wind for a time once the rain moves through. so, it may well start off dry in sheltered eastern areas. not set to last. the cloud and the outbreaks of rain will start to move in from the west throughout the day. temperatures once again ranging from around 7—12 degrees. now, once we've got thursday out of the way, fingers crossed, it looks likely that the weather story will quieten down just a little with an area of high pressure building in. so, just in time for the start of the weekend. so, as we move through friday, potentially into saturday, it's drier, settled, with some springlike sunshine to look forward to. take care.
