Hello. Welcome to South Today. Tonight: 30 years ago he kidnapped

:00:07.:00:12.

and abused two young girls. How advances in DNA led to his

conviction. No ifs, just butts - sales surge as

:00:59.:01:04.

on two young girls in Hampshire 30 years ago has been jailed for 16

:01:04.:01:08.

years. David Bryant was eventually caught because of advances in DNA

:01:08.:01:11.

testing developed by a forensic team that has since been disbanded.

:01:11.:01:16.

In the 1980s, David Bryant snatched and assaulted the two under fives

:01:16.:01:20.

as they played outside their homes in Gosport and Southampton. He then

:01:20.:01:25.

moved to Cumbria where, in the '90s, he abused two more young children.

:01:25.:01:30.

In July 2010, a team of cold case detectives from Hampshire Police

:01:30.:01:35.

reviewed the DNA evidence. The following May Bryant was matched to

:01:35.:01:39.

all four crimes after the Forensic Science Service traced him through

:01:39.:01:42.

a DNA sample from one of his relatives. Today, he was jailed

:01:43.:01:47.

after pleading guilty to four counts of kidnapping and indecent

:01:47.:01:55.

assault. A stranger of the most dangerous

:01:55.:01:59.

kind. David Bryant targeted young girls at random, kidnapping and

:02:00.:02:03.

sexually abusing them. In August 1982, David Bryant snatched a five-

:02:03.:02:09.

year-old girl as she played outside her home in Gosport. He took her to

:02:09.:02:12.

some boarded-up houses where he indecently assaulted her. In May

:02:12.:02:17.

the next year, another victim. This time the girl was three and was

:02:17.:02:21.

taken from outside her Southampton home, returning hours later with

:02:21.:02:25.

her clothes dishevelled saying she had been with a doctor. Speaking as

:02:25.:02:30.

an adult, she said, "When I hear an ice-cream van playing its music, I

:02:30.:02:34.

am left with chills all over my body. I am left remembering what

:02:34.:02:39.

happened to me at a very young age." For almost 30 years no-one

:02:39.:02:44.

knew who had committed these crimes, then cold case detectives began a

:02:44.:02:48.

review of historic sexual offences. They loaded DNA from the two crime

:02:48.:02:52.

scenes on the national database and it matched two cases of child

:02:52.:02:57.

kidnap and abuse in Newcastle in the 1990s and it matched Bryant.

:02:57.:03:02.

For us, it proves the benefit of reviewing cold cases and keeping

:03:02.:03:07.

abreast of advances that have been made in areas such as DNA

:03:07.:03:11.

technology and taking advantage of those. This is an old police E-fit

of the suspect. Now he looks like this. David Bryant, a taxi driver

:03:15.:03:18.

who was living in Cumbria, and who thought he would never be caught.

:03:18.:03:22.

Even when questioned by detectives he refused to admit what he had

:03:22.:03:31.

done. Tell us how you went about doingit? No comment. This is the

:03:31.:03:37.

time to give some explanations to people who deserves explanations.

:03:37.:03:45.

You're the only one who can tell us. No comment. Your opportunity?

:03:45.:03:54.

comment. He used every technique in the book to avoid detection. David

:03:54.:04:00.

Bryant represents every parents' nightmare.

:04:00.:04:05.

Our reporter is here with me. A successful result for police, but

:04:05.:04:09.

now that team of course has been disbanded? Operation Galaxy was the

:04:10.:04:14.

team of cold case detectives set up by Hampshire Police to review

:04:14.:04:18.

historic sexual offences. They reviewed 3,000 cases and brought

:04:18.:04:21.

eight successful prosecutions including the Bryant one. The force

:04:21.:04:27.

said the team wasn't disbapblded because of police budget --

:04:27.:04:30.

disbanded because of police budget cuts, but because it was a pilot

:04:30.:04:34.

project and it had reached its natural conclusion.

:04:34.:04:38.

With the closure of this Forensic Science Service, what sort of

:04:38.:04:43.

impact is that going to have on cases like the Bryant one?

:04:43.:04:46.

Forensic Science Service made that DNA match which led police to

:04:46.:04:50.

Bryant. But the Government which owns it says it is inefficient, it

:04:50.:04:54.

was losing �2 million a month so it is being wound up. Police forces

:04:54.:04:58.

are contracting out their forensic work to private firms, or they are

:04:58.:05:03.

doing it in-house. That may work out cheaper. The Prospect union has

:05:03.:05:07.

described it as a mockery and one former Police Minister has other

:05:07.:05:11.

concerns. The real problem is the Forensic Science Service used to

:05:11.:05:14.

make money on the bog standard stuff to reinvest in ground-

:05:14.:05:18.

breaking new techniques, the sort of things that are now solving

:05:18.:05:22.

crimes from 20 years ago. But if the private companies aren't

:05:22.:05:27.

reinvesting in new technology, in five or ten years' time, we will

:05:27.:05:30.

lose the opportunity to solve crimes, using techniques that

:05:30.:05:33.

haven't been developed yet. response, the Government says

:05:33.:05:36.

police forces can achieve greater efficiencies by contracting out

:05:36.:05:39.

their forensics. Hampshire Police say they don't expect the closure

:05:39.:05:45.

of the FSS to affect their forensic work.

:05:45.:05:48.

The computer games retailer Game has confirmed that 22 stores in the

:05:48.:05:52.

South are to close after the business went into administration.

:05:52.:05:55.

The retailer which has its headquarters in Basingstoke made

:05:56.:05:59.

the announcement this morning. 277 shops will close nationally

:05:59.:06:03.

including two each in Crawley, Bournemouth and Southampton. Some

:06:03.:06:07.

stores will remain open until a buyer is found.

:06:07.:06:10.

Anti-capitalist campaigners who have been occupying grounds outside

:06:10.:06:14.

Bournemouth University for more than two weeks have left the site.

:06:14.:06:17.

Members of Occupy movement wanted to meet the university's Chancellor

:06:17.:06:22.

who is also head of the new Supreme Court to talk about the removal of

:06:22.:06:25.

demonstrators from St Paul's Cathedral. It follows a possession

:06:25.:06:29.

order by Talbot Village Trust which owns the land near Talbot campus.

:06:29.:06:34.

The protest ended peacefully. Now, with the drought declared,

:06:34.:06:37.

gardeners are making plans for the coming months. Retailers say they

:06:37.:06:43.

have seen a big rise in the number of water butts being purchased with

:06:43.:06:49.

one DIY chain reporting a 160% increase on sales last year. Not

:06:49.:06:51.

everywhere faces hosepipe bans which come into the force from the

:06:51.:06:56.

end of next week, but we are all being urged to save waters and the

:06:56.:06:58.

suppliers are under pressure to take action.

:06:58.:07:02.

They may not be the most bright or beautiful things in garden centres,

:07:02.:07:10.

but water butts are among the most desirable at the moment. Sales of

:07:10.:07:15.

butts were up 800% last week. bought two. We thought there was

:07:15.:07:19.

going to be a water shortage. I wouldn't be without them now.

:07:19.:07:26.

have got three, but we would like a couple more. It's so expensive

:07:26.:07:30.

using the water from the tap. And also because of the oncoming

:07:30.:07:39.

drought. At these allotments, they are lucky enough to draw water from

:07:39.:07:43.

an underground source but they take water conservation very seriously.

:07:43.:07:47.

They are not filling up, they are not filling up. I have water butts

:07:47.:07:52.

at home and they are all empty. the clouds aren't gathering,

:07:52.:07:56.

perhaps the answer is to choose plants that like it hot. This

:07:56.:08:06.
:08:06.:08:07.

garden centre is seeing increased demand for drought-resistant plants.

:08:07.:08:12.

These are drought-tolerant. Again, very prolific and low maintenance.

:08:12.:08:17.

Are they selling well? Very well. For all those who observe hosepipe

:08:17.:08:21.

bans there will be those who ignore them. A survey by B&Q suggests

:08:21.:08:26.

nearly 20% will carry on regardless and only 15% say they would report

:08:26.:08:31.

a naughty neighbour. Those who do breach the ban risk �1,000 fine as

:08:31.:08:38.

people are asked to think carefully about how their garden grows.

:08:38.:08:43.

So what are the water companies doing? One measure is to install

:08:43.:08:45.

water meters. Southern Water is half-way through a five-year

:08:45.:08:51.

programme of installing them in 500,000 homes across its area.

:08:51.:08:53.

Chris Robinson asked Jon Crooke whether meters will make people

:08:54.:08:58.

think twice. People are aware then that they are paying for what they

:08:58.:09:03.

use as opposed to the way that they pay, not having an impact on how

:09:03.:09:08.

much water they use. We find that people do tend to change their

:09:08.:09:13.

behaviour and think more about how they use water and try and do more

:09:13.:09:16.

water efficiency within their own homes. It is going to cost you a

:09:16.:09:21.

lot of money to install these? is not building a reservoir, but it

:09:21.:09:24.

is doing something similar, all designed to help save water. So

:09:24.:09:28.

there is a cost. We think in terms of the cost, it is a lower cost

:09:28.:09:31.

than some of those other solutions we could have done. Equally, it is

:09:31.:09:35.

good for the environment because it reduces demand for water and helps

:09:35.:09:39.

preserve the water that we do have in the environment.

:09:39.:09:44.

This scheme will probably cost around �100 million to do. We will

:09:44.:09:52.

save around 18 million litres of water per day. What reaction have

:09:52.:09:56.

you had from your customers? Most customers really understand the

:09:56.:10:00.

reason why we are doing it. And accept that it is the right thing

:10:00.:10:04.

to do, paying for what you use is the right thing to do. Do you think

:10:04.:10:09.

things will get worse over the summer? We will have to wait and

:10:09.:10:12.

see. Whether we get some rain or not. We need to plan and make sure

:10:12.:10:16.

that if we take these steps now, there is more opportunity for us to

:10:16.:10:21.

have water later into the period. Jon Crooke and the forecast coming

:10:21.:10:24.

up later in the programme. Health bosses in West Sussex have

:10:24.:10:27.

confirmed a new hospital planned for Littlehampton won't be built

:10:27.:10:31.

after all. Campaigners say the town has many new houses and a large

:10:31.:10:35.

elderly population which needs a community hospital. But NHS Sussex

:10:35.:10:40.

is planning more community services based in GPs' surgeries.

:10:40.:10:44.

Plans to open up one-way streets to cyclists in parts of Brighton have

:10:44.:10:48.

been given the go-ahead. It means cyclists will be able to ride in

:10:48.:10:51.

both directions along 12 streets in the North Laine area of the city

:10:52.:10:56.

from late summer. It is part of plans to discourage cycling on

:10:56.:11:01.

pavements and the narrow passages which lead to the Laines.

:11:01.:11:07.

Stay with us. Still to come: Reham will be here with the weather and

:11:08.:11:15.

Tony is in Aldershot tonight with all the sport.

:11:15.:11:22.

Aldershot Town, known as The Rising Phoenix. Tonight, it is all about

:11:22.:11:25.

Aldershot football club which went out of business 20 years ago this

:11:25.:11:29.

week. They are looking back on it ahead of tonight's game with

:11:29.:11:34.

Bristol Rovers. All the sport here shortly.

:11:34.:11:40.

One of the South's MEPs is calling for a referendum on whether to

:11:40.:11:44.

build a large offshore wind farm eight miles off the coast of

:11:44.:11:48.

Brighton. The proposed Rampion Wind Farm would have up to 195 turbines.

:11:48.:11:52.

It is one of nine new proposed offshore wind farms, another is

:11:52.:11:57.

close to the Isle of Wight. There's already a public consultation under

:11:57.:12:04.

way, but UKIP MEP Marta Andreasen says that is not enough.

:12:04.:12:07.

The horizon in Brighton as it is now and as it could be. The wind

:12:07.:12:11.

farm would be visible from the shore. Underground cables would

:12:11.:12:21.

link it to an inland substation 28 miles away. It is no done deal.

:12:21.:12:24.

E.ON will need Government approval. Yes, people can find out the

:12:24.:12:29.

details about this. If they are really opposing the project, this

:12:29.:12:36.

is not the right place to express their disagreement so to speak.

:12:36.:12:40.

E.ON says 4,000 people have attended the consultation and they

:12:40.:12:43.

are listening to the feedback. People have their concerns, that is

:12:43.:12:46.

the purpose of this consultation exercise so people can come and air

:12:46.:12:49.

their views, they can raise their concerns. Of course, we can talk

:12:49.:12:54.

them through it. It will be a first for Sussex, so I asked people what

:12:54.:12:59.

they made of it. REPORTER: What do you think? It is

:12:59.:13:02.

an eyesore. It could be like a tourist attraction. It could bring

:13:02.:13:09.

people to the area. It is a bloody eyesore! You would be against it?

:13:09.:13:14.

Absolutely. I don't object to them. I don't live here. So I haven't got

:13:14.:13:20.

to look at it all. Environmental groups say eyesore or not, it is

:13:20.:13:25.

needed unlike a referendum. We have to get real. Climate change

:13:25.:13:29.

is a real threat to future humanity and unless we start taking action

:13:29.:13:32.

and responsibility just like we are having to do economically, we have

:13:32.:13:36.

to do that environmentally as well. But Marta Andreasen says hundreds

:13:36.:13:42.

have complained and she will fight for them.

:13:42.:13:47.

Two Sussex men have been honoured for their work in making

:13:47.:13:51.

Commonwealth war graves more accessible. Terry Denham and Mike

:13:51.:13:55.

Cole have used satellite imaging to map 24,000 War Cemeterys across the

:13:55.:14:00.

world. Now, as a result of their work, people can log on and see

:14:00.:14:08.

where their relative is buried. It has never been easier to locate

:14:08.:14:12.

the resting place of a loved one who died serving their country.

:14:12.:14:17.

These three men, two from Sussex, have spent years making it possible.

:14:17.:14:27.
:14:27.:14:28.

REPORTER: How does this work? try it. We type in the name of the

:14:28.:14:34.

largest commissioned cemetery in the world - Tyne Cot - and you can

:14:34.:14:39.

see where the cemetery is. Click on "location". Here we have an aerial

:14:40.:14:45.

view of the cemetery. Or you can scroll around the area to see what

:14:45.:14:51.

the area is like. Around 1.7 million people died serving the

:14:51.:14:57.

Realm during both World Wars. They rer -- their remains are scattered

:14:57.:15:03.

in every corner of the globe. 20,000 cemeteries and their

:15:03.:15:07.

satellite position were found so anyone can find them. Today, their

:15:07.:15:12.

efforts were recognised during an awards ceremony at St James's

:15:13.:15:19.

Palace. The quest began six years ago after a trip to a War Cemetery

:15:19.:15:25.

in France. I researched where the cemetery was. I found the location

:15:25.:15:30.

on my computer. I plotted it into my sat-nav and went there. When I

:15:30.:15:34.

came back, I was so moved by the occasion that when I came back I

:15:34.:15:40.

decided to plot a few more. Terry and Bruce were working on UK sites.

:15:40.:15:44.

They started at the top in alphabetical order. I started from

:15:44.:15:48.

the bottom in alphabetical order and we eventually met about

:15:48.:15:53.

Yorkshire, I think! LAUGHTER The information is on the Commonwealth

:15:53.:15:58.

war grave commission website. Since its launch two months ago, people

:15:58.:16:06.

have been able to find the graves of lost family members. I may -- it

:16:06.:16:12.

may be surprising to realise not everyone knows where their loved

:16:12.:16:20.

one is buried. It's difficult to put a price on the importance of a

:16:20.:16:27.

family member being able to go and touch the grave of their loved one.

:16:27.:16:31.

Countless hours have gone into finding these cemeteries. The work

:16:32.:16:37.

continues. They are now spreading their location into South Africa

:16:37.:16:45.

and Canada. It's big, white and can carry 70

:16:45.:16:52.

people at a time. What is it? The Sealife Tower! It's moving closer

:16:52.:16:57.

to completion and today the equipment which will lift the

:16:57.:17:01.

observation platform 50 metres into the air was put into place. It will

:17:01.:17:06.

offer a bird's-eye view of the Dorset coast.

:17:06.:17:10.

Just why is everyone looking skywards? It's not the big orange

:17:10.:17:19.

ball which has been making early appearances, it is this tower.

:17:19.:17:27.

Weymouth can be seen from a whole new perspective. It will be lovely.

:17:27.:17:33.

It looks a bit scary at the moment. Good for Weymouth? I think so.

:17:33.:17:38.

People will come a long way to see it and have a go on it. Hoisting

:17:38.:17:44.

the two large cylinders which weigh 16 tonnes and house the engine room

:17:44.:17:47.

into place was a delicate job. Although there are some who don't

:17:47.:17:52.

like the look of it, the �3.5 million tower does offer a new

:17:52.:17:56.

selling point for the resort. Speaking to one of the engineers

:17:56.:18:04.

this morning, they could see over to Abbotsbury this morning. It is a

:18:04.:18:11.

fantastic view. The viewing platform will hold 70 people and

:18:11.:18:14.

will rise off the ground in the next few weeks. The view looks

:18:14.:18:18.

fantastic today. Imagine what it is going to be like when you are

:18:18.:18:25.

inside this and you are revolving around 360 degrees 50 metres up in

:18:25.:18:30.

the air. We don't know the price for the tickets, but I understand

:18:30.:18:37.

they will be less than �10. There will be some great views of

:18:37.:18:41.

Dorset. Now, on to sport. A special night for football fans in

:18:41.:18:45.

Aldershot. 20 years ago, the town's football club was shut down after

:18:45.:18:50.

going bankrupt. A new club was born and Aldershot Town has now climbed

:18:50.:18:54.

its way up the football Pyramid into the Football League. Tonight,

:18:54.:18:57.

the new club honours the old one and Tony is there at the Ebb

:18:57.:19:01.

Stadium tonight. Quite an emotional night tonight?

:19:01.:19:06.

It is. We have lots of ex-players from Aldershot Football Club who

:19:06.:19:14.

are going to be here. Since 1992, 92 English football clubs have had

:19:14.:19:17.

some kind of insolvency process to go through. The mistakes of what's

:19:17.:19:21.

happened in the past continue to happen in football. It is something

:19:21.:19:24.

that the game financially still has to address. Tonight, they are

:19:24.:19:28.

remembering the past and here is the matchday programme. Lincoln

:19:28.:19:36.

City here the last game that was played and then Cardiff City away,

:19:36.:19:42.

the last-ever game the old football club played. That was '92. It felt

:19:42.:19:49.

like goodbye at full-time... 25th March 1992 and after 66 years, time

:19:49.:19:53.

finally ran out for Aldershot Football Club. This is how South

:19:53.:20:03.

Today reported it at the time. NEWSREEL: The talk of 11th hour

:20:03.:20:11.

saviours came to nothing... The club had had a long battle with its

:20:11.:20:18.

finances. Two years earlier, a potential saviour appeared. I went

:20:18.:20:27.

into property. Property is dead as a dodo. But the investment proved

:20:27.:20:34.

short-lived with debts of �1.2 million and Aldershot became the

:20:34.:20:41.

first professional football club to leave the league mid-season. Let's

:20:41.:20:48.

talk to a couple of people who remember 20 years ago, a former

:20:48.:20:52.

Southampton and Aldershot player. What a difficult time it was when

:20:52.:20:56.

the club went out of business? was very tough for all the players,

:20:56.:20:59.

staff and the supporters and the players, we weren't sure if we were

:20:59.:21:03.

going to have a fixture. We turned up, we wanted to keep our careers

:21:03.:21:07.

going, we wanted to keep the club going but it was very difficult. In

:21:07.:21:12.

the end, the inevitable happened. You turned up for the auction when

:21:12.:21:16.

they sold off the stuff. We have some pictures. It was an emotional

:21:16.:21:20.

time? It was. I wanted a me moan toe of the club that I was very

:21:20.:21:24.

happy at. I was bidding tonne boardroom table and was outbid. I

:21:24.:21:29.

wanted something from the club. It was a very happy club. Good to have

:21:29.:21:33.

you here. Graham was a supporter back then, now very much involved

:21:33.:21:38.

in the club. Your abiding memory? Sad. When you lose a football club,

:21:38.:21:42.

it is something you never believe is going to happen. It did here.

:21:42.:21:47.

What we learnt from that, we learnt so much that we could co-ordinate

:21:47.:21:53.

into the new club. You must never ever forget your history. All right.

:21:53.:21:59.

Thank you very much. Aldershot v Bristol Rovers here this evening.

:21:59.:22:07.

Portsmouth are up against Hull, Michael Appleton targeting two wins

:22:07.:22:16.

this week. There will be a first game in charge for Paul Groves, the

:22:16.:22:21.

Bournemouth caretaker manager as they go to Stevenage. He was put in

:22:21.:22:25.

temporary charge yesterday. If we move on to Sussex, League Two,

:22:25.:22:29.

Crawley could go back into the automatic promotion places when

:22:29.:22:37.

they travel to Bradford. Lots of football, all the goals

:22:37.:22:40.

tomorrow night. They are remembering special times here at

:22:40.:22:43.

Aldershot. There is a picture behind the goal, you won't be able

:22:43.:22:49.

to see it, it is of one of the saviours of Aldershot. They do

:22:49.:22:53.

remember their history. They are also hopefully looking forward to a

:22:53.:22:57.

bright future as well. Now, as you may well know, next

:22:57.:23:02.

month will see a host of ceremonies and events to mark the centenary of

:23:02.:23:06.

the world's most famous shipping disaster, the sinking of the

:23:06.:23:09.

Titanic. There will be more permanent reminders with two new

:23:09.:23:15.

museums. In Belfast the �90 million Titanic signature building opens on

:23:15.:23:18.

Friday. It is on the site of the shipyard that built the liner.

:23:18.:23:23.

Among the attractions is a re- creation of the Titanic's grand

:23:23.:23:26.

staircase. Southampton will have its new Sea City Museum which

:23:26.:23:34.

charts Titanic, the impact the disaster had on its own port. It's

:23:34.:23:41.

given guests a sneak preview. Shiny new interactive exhibits for

:23:41.:23:45.

the latest attraction. Southampton Sea City Museum has opened its

:23:45.:23:50.

doors for a few special guests. is to get some feedback while we

:23:50.:23:55.

have some time to correct things or adjust things, like sound levels.

:23:55.:24:01.

It will be difficult to make changes to that once we are open.

:24:01.:24:04.

The museum will tell the whole story of Southampton's relationship

:24:04.:24:11.

with the sea, but for this year, the 100th anniversary of RMS

:24:11.:24:17.

Titanic is taking centre stage. This is a soft launch for the new

:24:17.:24:21.

museum. They are inviting people to test all the interactive displays

:24:21.:24:25.

to see if anything needs changes before the official launch on April

:24:25.:24:35.

10th. It is proving very popular. like driving the Titanic down The

:24:35.:24:39.

Solent. You have to keep in the deep part. I like all the models of

:24:39.:24:45.

the boat. Really fun. It's taken five years to get to this stage.

:24:45.:24:49.

Judging by the enthusiasm of these visitors, those behind the project

:24:49.:24:57.

are hopeful it will all sail smoothly.

:24:57.:25:00.

A special South Today two weeks today, we will be live there. So

:25:00.:25:04.

today, we will be live there. So make sure you are with us.

:25:04.:25:10.

On to the weather. No rain on the horizon? No rain on the horizon. I

:25:10.:25:14.

am struggling to come up with more words to describe this sunny

:25:14.:25:21.

weather. I tweeted and I got some contributions. "It's a vitamin D

:25:21.:25:31.
:25:31.:25:42.

immersion" and another said, "It's sun-seational!" -- sun-sational!"

:25:42.:25:46.

A clear view of the region as you can see from the satellite picture

:25:46.:25:51.

taking earlier. Even now, those clearing skies are with us so it

:25:51.:25:57.

will be a chilly night once again. Cold and dry with a touch of ground

:25:58.:26:01.

frost. The winds are very light and the skies are clear, particularly

:26:01.:26:04.

out in the countryside. Temperatures once again a re-run of

:26:04.:26:11.

last night, so close to freezing. The mist and fog not so much of an

:26:11.:26:15.

issue as we head towards Wednesday. Wednesday is an exceptionally warm

:26:15.:26:20.

day. We are expecting highs of 22 Celsius for a lot of spots. Further

:26:20.:26:25.

east, we could be exceeding 23 Celsius. That is not really

:26:25.:26:30.

breaking any March records. We have recorded highs of 25.6 Celsius in

:26:30.:26:35.

1968, so that was the warmest March on record. On Wednesday evening,

:26:35.:26:41.

there will be a little bit of cloud floating in. Temperatures around 6

:26:42.:26:46.

Celsius. Then on Thursday, it is again a very warm and very dry

:26:46.:26:50.

scene, no sign of that rain all because of high pressure. That high

:26:50.:26:53.

is pushing west all the while. So we are having a more of a northerly

:26:54.:26:58.

flow as we head towards the end of the week into the weekend. So

:26:58.:27:02.

Friday is a little bit cooler with a bit of cloud floating in. It is

:27:02.:27:05.

still well above the seasonal average. Saturday, however,

:27:05.:27:09.

considerably cloudier and certainly much cooler, but it is essentially

:27:09.:27:13.

dry. So we are looking at very warm temperatures tomorrow, pretty warm

:27:13.:27:19.

on Thursday, not so bad on Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be much

:27:19.:27:24.

cooler. That is a big drop in temperature.

:27:24.:27:32.
