THE three-day match between Worcestershire and Australia should be largely unaffected by rain.

Despite torrential downpours in the city yesterday, Worcester News weatherman Paul Damari expects the weather to improve throughout the weekend.

The forecast is for early showers on Saturday giving way to dry conditions with sunshine and variable cloud on Sunday and Monday. Temperatures should reach 20C (68F).

Damari said: "Once we get rid of the showers on Saturday, it sho-uld be dry and comfortable."
