Coastal and hill fog, another Weather Front Waiting In The Wings bringing more heavy rain, soa in the wings bringing more heavy rain, so a different story for tomorrow, some of that rain heavy and persistent for a time, a lot of cloud first thing as well. The rain will gradually drift eastwards, eventually we will see some improvement across western scotland, northern ireland, wales and south west england, some sunshine and a scattering of the lighter showers but grey and disappointing in the south east.
