The sun is out this morning and after a mild overnight we expect the day to warm up to around 14 degrees later on this afternoon.

There are some fantastic 'sea of cloud' views looking north over Minamiuonuma city on the Ishiuchi Maruyama webcam early on (see below), though those clouds will probably very quickly disappear leaving everywhere in the region with clear skies.

Tomorrow might start off sunny but rain is expected before the end of the day and over the weekend.
