HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
Yesterday, Lossiemouth was the warmest place in the U.K. at 17.  Remember the comments yesterday about more rain to be found further west, well Tyndrum received 28mms (2100H to 2100H ). There is likely to be a similar theme today: for the most low cloud & highest rainfall totals--go west. For a chance of brighter skies & the least rain, go east & south east.

PITLOCHRY TODAY
Much of the morning should just about stay dry, but it will be mostly rather cloudy. Around lunchtime, another area of rain is due to arrive from the s.w.probably lasting on & off for the rest of the day. Much of the rain should be light, just occasionally moderate, but the cloud base is likely to lower to cover the hills. It will be breezy, but mild, at around 12.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Rain continuing for some hours, but dying out during the night. Minimum temperature 9.

SUNDAY
A dry, bright morning, though possibly some further rain as the afternoon goes on. Staying mild.
