MONDAY 7th MARCH

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
 Essentially cloudy & dry, though there was a little drizzle earlier.Again, we have this cheerless stratocumulus cloud that plays tricks on the forecasters.At present, there's a lot of clear blue sky further north!

PITLOCHRY TODAY
Probably the main emphasis will be on cloud rather than sunshine, though we could see somewhat brighter conditions with the odd sunny interval this afternoon. It should be a touch milder than yesterday at around 8 degrees(near normal)

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Becoming cloudy& rather breezy, but much of the time it should stay dry. Perhaps very small amounts of light patchy rain could get through from the NW for a time. There should be little chance of frost, with lowest temperatures around 3 degrees.

OUTLOOK
TUESDAY is likely to see a dry start, but small amounts of rain are expected for a time during the afternoon.
THE REST of THE WEEK is likely to be less settled & colder.
