SUNDAY 30th JANUARY

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
Some slippy patches around this morning, as slight rain recently, has fallen on frozen ground. Only a slight air frost (-0.3 )

PITLOCHRY TODAY
 Mainly dry today, with a mixture of rather cloudy periods & some brighter spells with a little sunshine. Highest temperatures should reach around 4 degrees.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Mainly dry with partly cloudy skies, but a few breaks leading to enough clear patches to allow a very slight frost. Minimum temperatures around 0 to -1.

OUTLOOK
 Between Monday & Thursday, the weather will become more unsettled, as low pressure takes over & winds strenghthen from the W or SW. There will be a mixture of one or two rain belts & showery weather in between.  Most of the heavier rain is likely to fall to the west of Pitlochry. Although rather milder for a time, lower temperatures later may lead to some snow showers. There is, however, no current indications of any prolonged wintry conditions.
