Low pressure will dominate Britain's weather during the next few days. Today, an active slow-moving front will be close to our area throughout the day & be responsible for the prolonged & at times heavy rainfall.(Watch the rainfall radar in "Favourite Links" to see how our region comes off worst.)
PITLOCHRY TODAY
Overcast, with long spells of rain, sometimes heavy, occasional easing off temporarily. High rainfall totals are likely. Maximum temperatures will be pegged back to around 15 or 16 degrees. Winds will be moderate or fresh from the east.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
The rain is likely to continue through the evening, but die out after midnight. Lowest temperatures should be around 9 or 10 degrees.
OUTLOOK
THURSDAY is expected to be an unsettled day, with heavy showers which may merge into longer spells of rain. A few drier & brighter spells may also occur.
FRIDAY & THE WEEKEND look like remaining rather unsettled, with some showers or even a longer spell of rain. As winds move more to a SW direction by the weekend, it should become a little warmer.
