Sunny to start

Hello,

could you, please, tell me whether it's correct to say:

"The day will be sunny to start, but later rain is expected."

Should I rather say: "to start with" or "at start"?

Thank you

Thank you. So, should I keep "to start" or should I correct it somehow?

Provided it's clear from the situation that this is part of a weather report, it's fine.

In North American language, the expression may sound awkward, but it is correct formal English here in London.
