Forecast for Fri 30 Dec 22

Rain across the area in the morning will clear as the cold front passes through, to leave brighter spells and showers with the low cloud base lifting. The moderate SSE wind will swing to SSW in the afternoon, picking up strength with strong gusts.  Given the upper wind strength and direction we may see Wave set up over the area. It will be mild with Max temp c7°C but the wind/chill factor will make it feel colder.  If available, an on-the-day X-Section or SkySight image that provides a more up-to-date guide will be published on the closed Messenger Ops Gp tomorrow morning.

Sunset is at 16:03.  General forecast from XCWeather https://www.xcweather.co.uk/forecast/Shawbury
