The Met Office predicts there will be "sunny spells" throughout the day in Liverpool today.
Forecasters have predicted a "dull start" with patchy mist and fog. However, it is not all bad news as cloud will break up in the morning allowing for sunshine to develop in the afternoon.
According to the Met Office there will be maximum temperatures of 18C in the city today. Tonight is forecast to be a "dry and fine evening", but cloud will tend to spread in from the west overnight.

Warm weather is set to continue throughout the week, with dry conditions expected for most of the country ahead of the bank holiday. If highs of 22C are recorded this weekend, the UK will be hotter than the Greek islands of Skiathos and Mykonos.
Over Easter weekend, Met Office meteorologist Annie Shuttleworth said despite the heat, the North West will also experience some lingering clouds. However, in Liverpool, it will still be a balmy 17°C on Friday and Saturday.
This means it will be hotter than the likes of Gijón, a coastal city in northern Spain, that will only have highs of 16°C. Ms Shuttleworth said: "If people are travelling for sunshine, then further eastern areas are more likely to see that brighter weather.
"I think in the main for the bank holiday weekend, we'll see temperatures quite widely above average across the UK and hopefully they could be very warm in the South East in particular. Warmer than average certainly, but nowhere near heatwave criteria. It will definitely be warmer than the week we've just had and last week."
Some drizzly rain is expected later in the week across the North West along with the cloud, but it is not likely to cause disruption.
