It looks like the winds are veering more north and slightly off the east, there also seems to be a train of showers forming along the coastline.

These are expected to be pushed inland and get heavier overnight and through into the early hours.

Most of the showers seemed to miss here today! Lug looks plastered though. A recent shower seems to have turned it really white.
