MONDAY 14th FEBRUARY

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
A very misty morning, with none of the hills visible. We escaped an air frost, minimum temperature 2.4, with the current temperature at 2.7.  There is a Met Office warning of a slight snow cover for places in Perth & Kinross above 200m---glad I'm only 140m!! The lowest parts of Pitlochry are nearer to 90m.

PILOCHRY TODAY
A cloudy morning, with some rain or sleet spreading from the south. Hills may have some wet snow accumulation. There should be some drier & brighter conditions, with just the odd shower, this afternoon. Maximum temperature around 3 or 4.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
A few showers possible, which may be of sleet or wet snow. Most of the night should be dry, with a slight frost.

OUTLOOK
Much of the week will experience SE winds, which will give days with below normal temperatures, though with little in the way of night-time frosts. It will be rather cloudy, with some belts of rain, sleet or wet snow, interspersed with brighter conditions with scattered showers. Colder air is again threatening for the further outlook.
