THURSDAY 21st APRIL

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
It remained very mild overnight(we are still without an air frost this month). There were a few spots of rain late in the night, but the plants would have been fighting over them!

PITLOCHRY TODAY
The North Sea low cloud hasn't got inland as far this morning, but there is still a sheet of higher cloud over the area. A few breaks should develop, with some sunny intervals. Remaining mostly dry & still on the warm side at around 17 degrees.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Some clear spells, though perhaps the low cloud spreading in later. Lowest overnight temperatures about 6 degrees.

OUTLOOK
We should have 3 days of warm weather. An odd shower is possible, but it should stay dry most of the time. There should be some spells of sunshine
