SATURDAY 19th MARCH

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
Not as frosty as the previous night (rather more cloud). Quite a pleasant start to the day, with some blue sky around.

PITLOCHRY TODAY
A dry day, with broken cloud & some sunshine. Winds from the SW increasing a little during the day. Maximum temperature 9 degrees.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Some clear spells at first, but more cloud around later. (The moon is supposed to look extra large at present, as the distance between the earth & moon is less than average---probably more chance of seeing it early in the eastern sky)   Not as cold as on recent nights, because of cloud cover, minimum 2 or 3 degrees.

OUTLOOK
SUNDAY---Rather cloudy, but mainly dry. Perhaps a few breaks in the afternoon. A little milder at 11 degrees maximum.
BEYOND---Remaining dry, partly cloudy, but also some sunshine. Rather mild.
