PITLOCHRY TODAY
A cloudy start, though mild again. During the day, the cloud should break somewhat, but the radar does show the odd shower around too. Temperatures should rise to 12 or 13. Winds fairly light.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Mainly dry, with some cloud breaks. Along with light winds, this is likely to lead to a colder night, with lows of around 4, with a ground frost likely in prone spots.

WEEKEND
A mainly dry one for a change, with much of the rain confined to S.E. England. There should be some sunshine around, especially on Sunday. On both nights, however, temperatures are likely to fall close to freezing, resulting in some fog patches & chilly mornings. Maximum temperatures will also drop a little to more normal values.
