So, there was no storm on Friday. Nothing like one. A bit of rain, but negligible, and not that windy either. Still, there's always overnight and into Saturday.

We have a yellow alert for rough coastal conditions (north, northeast, east) from midnight Friday to 6pm Saturday - gusts of 60 km/h and waves of three metres. The north wind is forecast to be quite strong at times, easing by the evening.

Mainly grey skies in the morning, with a rain probability - according to weather stations across the island - up to 90%. This probability is much higher than it was on Friday, but if there is rain, it's unlikely to amount to much. Due to brighten up by the afternoon, but not especially warm. A better day on Sunday - plenty of sun and warmer.
