FRIDAY 15th APRIL

HEADLINES @ 0830Hrs
A pleasant enough start to the day. It is cloudy, but the base is fairly high & thin in places.The lawns are wet with dew & have in fact grown rapidly since the last cut. Don't forget, some mid-month facts & figures will be out later today.

PITLOCHRY TODAY
It will be rather cloudy for much of the time, though there should be some brightness on occasions & perhaps a few intervals of sunshine this afternoon.Maximum temperatures should reach about 14 degrees, this figure above the April normal.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
A dry evening & night is expected, with generally rather cloudy skies, but a few clearer breaks too. No frost is expected.

OUTLOOK
A dry WEEKEND is expected, with Sunday the better day for sunshine amounts. Remaining on the mild side. Little joy for those wanting some rainfall!
