However, mist and stubborn patches of fog will linger, particularly close to southern and eastern coasts. Visibility will be poor in some areas, causing tricky conditions for early commuters and those planning Sunday morning activities.
Afternoon: Cloud Cover Sticks Around
As the day progresses, sunshine will be rare. Expect a heavy blanket of cloud to dominate the skies with only occasional breaks.
