While many North East residents will be hopeful that this weekend's downpours will be the end of the bad weather for a while, the showers are unfortunately expected to bleed into the start of next week.
Monday's Met Office outlook shows overcast skies from start to finish, with precipitation early in the morning and late in the afternoon. Miserable temperatures between 6C and 4C are expected to accompany.
And while the skies will begin to clear on Tuesday, there is still a substantial chance of rain around midday and in the early afternoon. It's looking like a dry start and finish though, with forecasters anticipating going forward into the rest of the week that showers will dissipate all together.
