WEDNESDAY 25th MAY

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
What a grey day!   There was also a ground frost, but at least that wind has died away.  Today, what breeze there is, will be from totally the opposite direction to the recent blast. It's still far from being warm & settled!!

PITLOCHRY TODAY
Rather cloudy today, as a weak warm front moves across from the SW. Much of the time should stay dry, with only a little patchy light rain around. Winds will be light or moderate from the S.E.& highest temperatures will reach a below-average 12 or 13 degrees.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Staying mostly cloudy, but perhaps a greater chance of some occasional spells of mostly light rain. Lowest temperatures 7 or 8 degrees.

OUTLOOK
THURSDAY is likely to be rather cloudy, with restricted amounts of sunshine. Showers or longer spells of rain are likely. Remaining cool for late May  .FRIDAY should see more in the way of sunshine, but with a risk of an odd shower.
