SUNDAY 6th MARCH

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
Cloud proved more persistent overnight, so no frost this morning (currently 3.2 degrees) Cloudy at present, though cloud sheet not as low as yesterday.

PITLOCHRY TODAY
Somewhat more cloud than sunshine likely today. This STATOCUMULUS cloud, common in high pressure weather, often gives forecasters a problem regarding the balance between cloud & sunshine. I'm afraid the clouds may take 90%+ of the time today.  Highest temperature around 7 degrees.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Generally rather cloudy, with perhaps just a few breaks. Lowest temperatures around 1 or 2 degrees.

OUTLOOK
Generally dry & bright at times on MONDAY & a little milder. Becoming more unsettled after that.
