FRIDAY 8th JULY

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
A pleasant start this morning, but it's still low pressure in charge.

PITLOCHRY TODAY
A dry, bright start which should last for an hour or two, before cloud begins to build. From lunchtime onwards, the shower risk increases & during the afternoon, there could be some heavy showers around. Amounts of rain will vary considerably over short distances. Winds will be light to moderate from the E, while maximum temperatures reach 18 or 19 degrees.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Rather cloudy at times, with still a shower risk, though this is greater further to the east. Some clear spells overnight, with lowest temperatures down to around 9 or 10 degrees.

OUTLOOK
 SATURDAY is still essentially unsettled, but there is a better chance of more emphasis on some dry periods, with sunny spells & rather less on cloudy, showery periods (but take a brolly just in case!)
SUNDAY again, hopefully, should see more of the dry spells, with sunshine, & less of the cloud & showers. On both days, temperatures should reach around 18 or 19 degrees (near normal )
