But light showers are forecast for tonight, though these will lessen by morning and later peter out. A high of 13 degrees and a low of 6 degrees are forecast tomorrow.
Rain will be back Wednesday, with the mercury dropping to a high of 8 degrees as the arriving cold front dominates the city weather.
