    Headline:

    Becoming fine overnight. Sunshine and perhaps the odd shower Friday.

    This Evening and Tonight:

    Isolated sharp showers should soon fade in western areas to leave a dry night with clear periods to perhaps allow some mist and fog patches. Temperatures dipping given the light winds, in a cooler night than of late. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

    Friday:

    A cool start, with early mist and fog patches clearing to leave a mostly fine day with lengthy warm sunny spells, and perhaps one or two light showers. Light winds. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

    Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

    Fine with warm sunshine Saturday, turning cloudier later ahead of progressively wetter and windier Sunday. Monday perhaps starting fine, ahead of further wet and windy weather later.
