THURSDAY 11th AUGUST

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
Still overcast, with a few spits of rain. The past 24 Hrs has seen 37.2mms, making it the wettest day to date in August & the wettest day to date in 2011.  A very slow moving front was responsible & this same front will continue to pester areas to the south of us for much of today. The good news is that we should be losing its influence today, the bad news is that new fronts will affect us tomorrow!

PITLOCHRY TODAY
Mainly cloudy. Some mainly light rain this morning, becoming patchy this afternoon before finally dying out. Cool again, with highest temperature around 14 degrees.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Mostly rather cloudy. Dry spells, but still the odd patch of light rain around. Lowest temperatures in double figures.

OUTLOOK
FRIDAY---Starting dry, but rain spreading from the S.W. later. A little warmer than the past couple of days.
WEEKEND----Still not totally settled, but spells of dry weather, somewhat warmer, but with a likelihood of some showers around.
