AFTER a sodden end to the working week things are looking a bit brighter for the weekend in Newport, but it would be wise to carry a cagoule.
The Met Office forecasts that rain will continue into the evening with those that head for a post-work pint faced by a potential soaking.
Saturday will be "cloudy changing to sunny intervals by late morning" while Sunday is tipped to have "light showers changing to partly cloudy by early evening".
The temperature is forecast to be 20 degrees before that drops next week.
