YESTERDAY IN PITLOCHRY
A mainly cloudy & cold day. Some light rain in the evening, turned to ice for a time on some surfaces. My parked car was covered in ice during falling rain at about 2100Hrs.
THE GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN AROUND THE BRITISH ISLES
Pressure is high over Finland & this is continuing to feed cold air into much of England, with further snowfall threatened for later on. Western Scotland is milder, with a feed of Atlantic air, though this has yet to make its presence felt in Pitlochry.
TOMORROW'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY
The day will be generally cloudy, with perhaps a little light rain or drizzle on occasions, but not amounting to much. Winds will be mostly light with maximum temperatures up a bit at around 4 or 5 degrees.
