Satellite loops show low clouds banked up along the foothills

upper trough approaches the coast. Temperatures are forecast to
climb to around 8 to 12 degrees above average on Wednesday then
increase further to around 10 to 15 degrees above on Thursday.

The trough splits on Saturday with northern energy moving over
