SATURDAY 26th MARCH

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
Misty low cloud & light rain out there at present, so I'm not tempted into the garden, though gardeners may well be pleased to see a bit of a damping, following about 10 days without significant rain.The temperature at present is 5.6 degrees, though there was a ground frost overnight.

PITLOCHRY TODAY
A mainly cloudy day, with patchy light rain or drizzle on occasions. Any rain is more likely this morning & any brighter intervals, this afternoon. It will be around 4 degrees cooler than yesterday, with maximum temperature at about 8 or 9 degrees.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
The period should be mainly cloudy, but dry. There may be a few clear spells & these will allow temperatures to fall to around 0 to +1 as a minimum. Many places are likely to have a ground frost.

OUTLOOK
There should be a better chance of some brighter weather on SUNDAY, though skies may still be rather cloudy. It should remain dry & temperatures should be a degree or two up on today's.
