A MURKY start should clear to allow spells of sunshine across Somerset today.

This morning's low cloud and mist should gradually clear with sunny spells expected around 1pm.

However the skies will slowly cloud over during the late afternoon, with temperatures remaining mild at around 12 degrees centigrade.

It will remain dry at first tonight, though cloud will slowly feed in from the west overnight, with outbreaks of rain arriving into the far west towards dawn.
