Mostly cloudy on Monday evening and through the night with outbreaks of rain. The rain could be heavy and persistent at times. The brisk winds will ease overnight, becoming light by the early hours.
Minimum temperature: 8 to 11C (46 to 52F).
On Tuesday it is expected to stay mostly cloudy with some further rain. The rain will tend to be quite light and patchy in nature though. Later in the day there could be some sunny spells.
A new quarry is being planned for the Chouet headland, as the existing site at Les Vardes nears the end of its life within the next few years.
Construction supplier Ronez has discussed plans with the States' Development and Planning Authority.
The site was designated as a mineral safeguarding area in the Island Development Plan because of the strategic importance of quarrying to Guernsey.
Ronez General Manager Steve Roussel said a quarry at Chouet would have a lifespan of at least 40 years, and about five million tonnes of aggregate could be extracted.
Mr Roussel said there were plans to minimise the impact of the quarry on the surrounding area.
Senior Vale constable Richard Leale said the douzaine would not object as there were guidelines to how stone could be quarried and which parts of the site should be protected from commercial activity.

Deputy Kirsten Morel, from the Economic Affairs Scrutiny Panel, said he was worried the laws were pushed through the island's government in a hurry - partly because politicians did not want to be seen obstructing parents' rights.
But he said the changes could force some businesses to close.
He said he wanted to postpone the debate on introducing the laws so they could be adapted to suit everyone, and give politicians the chance to look at it again.
