:06:36. > :06:40.tomorrow with childless by the evening. Still some showers for the
:06:41. > :06:48.next couple of hours for us but claiming through overnight, leaving
:06:49. > :06:53.us with a dry story. Mild overnight with 15 degrees below. Heading into
:06:54. > :07:00.tomorrow, generally dry first thing. Sunny spells. As we go through the

:08:16. > :08:19.A lot of this rain is coming through overnight, so behind it, many of us
:08:20. > :08:23.will start the day tomorrow dry with some hazy sunshine. The last of that
