in the middle of the day tomorrow and that will bring further

outbreaks of light and patchy rain. Then the whole system will stall

around. Return to some drizzly conditions and a fair amount of low

cloud appearing in the second half of the day. Here are the times of

high water. Now for our surfers, clean but not very big. Choppy on

the north coast. C temperature around 17 degrees. Those are the

coastal waters forecast. The winds are lighter tomorrow. But occasional

drizzle as possible with moderate or good visibility. There is rain now

in the forecast. Friday in particular looks like it could be

quite a wet day. If we do not see much in the way of rain on Friday

widespread. —— on Friday night. Come Sunday, we have a new area of low

pressure and Sunday itself could turn out to be quite windy as well.

With strong, possibly even deal force. Clearing overnight into

Monday, colder air comes in. Quite chilly feel for the early part of

next week. For those that need it, there is some rain and forecast for

the few days. Just before we go, one person

Sunday. A welcome collection. Goodbye.
