SUNDAY 23rd JANUARY

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
Beware of black ice this morning (it would appear slight rain has fallen onto frozen ground ). There was a frost earlier in the night (-2.6), but now it's above zero (+1.3 )

PITLOCHRY TODAY
Still high pressure dominating, but more cloud around than yesterday. Still a few intervals of sunshine, with maximum temperatures reaching about 5 degrees. Winds mainly light to moderate from the N or NW.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Broken cloud, with a few clear intervals. Minimum temperatures down to about -1, so just a slight frost.

OUTLOOK
The high pressure will be a little further away, but still have an influence on our weather. Apart from a little light rain for a time on Monday, the next few days will be dry, with temperatures around 5 or 6 by day & with a few mist patches & slight frost overnight.
