Today is going to be drier than Tuesday but there is still the chance of seeing some showers around as we go through the morning and into the afternoon.

One or two of those could be heavy at times as we progress towards the second half of the day.

There could also be a bit of brightness breaking out between the cloud and it's still going to be feeling fairly mild with highs of 10C (50F).

Going into this evening there's a chance we could see a few more showers but it is looking mostly cloudy as we go through to the early hours with a few clear spells by first thing tomorrow.
