The overnight rain will continue at times until late morning.The remainder of the day is likely to remain rather cloudy, with temperatures still struggling somewhat, with highest values around 3 or 4 degrees.(I just can't see these 6 to 8 predictions being realized)

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Mostly cloudy. Dry at first, but some further rain overnight. temperatures should remain a degree or two above freezing.
