Good morning from Yuzawa.
Rain varied yesterday - easing off at times during the day time - and then got heavier in the evening.
This morning we have cloudy skies and it looks like the sun might be trying to break through (it already is to the north). There's some fog in some higher places though as you can see on the webcam images below; that will likely clear soon.
Tomorrow is currently looking mixed and unpredictable again, but there's a chance of rain again... and again more later on in the day.
Looking ahead a bit more, the forecast for Tuesday looks good - clear skies and sunny.
