SUNDAY 13th MARCH----EVENING

UPDATE @ 1630Hrs
The day remained just about dry, but it felt particularly cold in the strong NNE wind. The maximum temperature reached 4.8 (3.5 degrees below normal). This afternoon, cloud broke somewhat around Ben Vrackie & neighbouring high ground, but re-formed again as it moved further south. This is probably caused by the descent of air from the Cairngorms & this set-up remained in place for most of the afternoon. Incidentally, I had a report this morning, of around 4 inches of snow in the Calvine area. The Inverness to Kings Cross rail service was nearly 70mins late into Pitlochry this morning, due, I suspect, to weather conditions further north.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
A cold, windy night is expected & some more rain or sleet is likely, though mostly light. There may be some snow above about 200 to 250 metres. Temperatures will fall to about 1 or 2 degrees.

OUTLOOK
MONDAY through to THURSDAY will probably be a rather cloudy period, though the wind should die down & daytime temperature values rise a little. WEDNESDAY may well be the best day, with THURSDAY endind up turning colder again.
