Sunshine and showers will follow on Saturday. The heavier and more blustery showers will hit on Sunday and Monday, with coastal winds expected into next week.

The BBC outlook for the weekend reads: "Saturday morning will see a band of rain move through from the west, this clearing later to leave a mix of bright spells and showers. A windy day.
