A cloudy day with outbreaks of rain, some heavy and with the slight risk of the odd rumble of thunder.
Watch my full forecast here:
North Yorkshire Police say "lessons will be learned" from the case of two boys found guilty yesterday of plotting a mass shooting at a school in North Yorkshire.
The boys, both 15, were found guilty of planning to shoot and kill pupils and teachers at the school in Northallerton.
The North Yorkshire force has been criticised after the prosecution at the trial questioned why the boys were only arrested by counter terrorism officers a month after police were first alerted to concerns about their behaviour.
Speaking after the trial at Leeds Crown Court, Det Supt Allan Harder said procedures will be reviewed:

I'm at Lowedges Road in Sheffield where a 15-year-old boy died last night after being stabbed.
A police cordon's still in place as forensic investigations continue this morning.
The South Yorkshire force says a "vast number" of officers have been deployed in the search for the teenager's killer.
Because of the police cordon, several roads remain closed.
As a result, there's currently very slow traffic in the Meadowhead roundabout area, especially down towards Chesterfield on Chesterfield Road South. ️
Drivers coming from Chesterfield are being diverted away from Chesterfield Road South.
This is the scene there right now:

The case of two teenage boys who plotted a mass shooting at a school in North Yorkshire has been described as "off the scale" by the former Head of the National Association of Probation Officers.
Image source, PAThe two boys, both 15, were found guilty at Leeds Crown Court yesterday of planning to shoot and kill pupils and teachers at a school in Northallerton.
During the trial the jury was told the pair had researched and discussed the Columbine massacre, an attack which saw 12 students and a teacher being shot and killed and many others injured in Colorado in 1999.
Harry Fletcher, the former Head of the National Association of Probation Officers, said: "It's quite extraordinary the thinking of these two could get so distorted that they genuinely wanted to take out pupils and teachers they didn't like."
The boys will be sentenced in July after psychiatric reports have been completed.
