For the most part

Weather forecast

-------------------

Weatherman: Below that around the Vancouver island area, a mixture of sun and clouds

for the most part today, very slim chance of precipitation. Maybe the odd scattered shower,

but for the most part, partly cloudy skies for you today in Vancouver and Victoria.

-------------------------------------------

Is "for the most part" a phrase in this sentence?

If yes, does it mean "mostly/mainly/ usually/ ..."?


Or

it is separated words?



Thank you
