The weather should improve for the holiday weekend, say forecasters.

Labour Day is expected to see a mixture of sun and clouds.

It would be a welcome break from the rain of the last few days.

Showers and thunderstorms were predicted to hit the Island last night, according to the Bermuda Weather Service.

Today showers will continue throughout most of the day and a thunderstorm watch is also in effect for parts of the day. High wind is predicted, but will ease up in the evening. Chance of rain is 30 percent.

Nicole Hannon, of the weather service, said the total inches or rainfall at press time last night was 1.41 inches. She also said there were no reports of flooding.
