EXCITEMENT has been in the air this week as people caught wind of a warm long weekend on its way.

TODAY will not disappoint, with perfect sunshine continuing and temperatures lingering in the mid-20s.

Expect some showers on SATURDAY morning, but they should clear up around midday, making way for a pleasant afternoon with sunny intervals.

SUNDAY is expected to be cloudier, but still mostly dry.

Unfortunately we are out of luck on MONDAY, with overcast skies and showers predicted throughout the day.
