IF YOU'VE got the ultimate Valentine's Day outing planned or still scratching your head - take a look at today's weather forecast in Gympie to see how the day is going to unfold.

While the temperatures have dropped, much to the relief of all, Gympie will still reach a balmy top of 32 degrees today- with the hottest time between noon and 3pm.

Following yesterday's small patches of rain, a trough that developed yesterday in is still in the area and may deliver "showers or light sprinkle this morning", a Bureau of Meteorology spokesman said
