Another of those nights when the gritters would be in some doubt whether to be active or not, as air temperatures fell to +2.2, but ground temperatures to -0.7. This morning is currently dry, with a 6/8ths cloud cover.
PILOCHRY TODAY
Much of the day will be dry, but there will be a few light showers around. These showers are likely to be of snow on the higher ground, so perhaps a scattering on Ben Y Vrackie. It will be generally rather cloudy, but a few breaks are also expected. It will feel somewhat colder, maximum temperatures around 4 or 5 degrees.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Mainly dry, just the chance of an odd shower(a little snow on hills). Clear periods will lead to a fairly widespread frost, with minimum around -2 or -3.
OUTLOOK
Several quiet, fine, dry days to end the month, with variable amounts of cloud & some sunny spells. The days will be rather cold & there will be overnight frost & fog patches.
