A cloudy & chilly start, though there hasn't been a frost. Again the forecasting problem revolves round if & when the sun will break through. As mostly happens in this type of weather, the most sunshine & highest temperatures will be found further west, while the East Coast will fare the worst, as light breezes will be blowing from the E. Pitlochry is likely to keep the cloud for a time this morning, but it should begin to break by late morning, with sunny spells this afternoon. Temperatures will range from 18 in the far west, through 13 in Pitlochry to 9 on the East Coast. TONIGHT should be clear at first & quite chilly, but probably more cloudy later. More dry, sunny, warm weather ahead!

YESTERDAY IN PITLOCHRYDisappointing! Cloudy & misty at first during the morning. Some cloud breaks, but little in the way of sunshine during the afternoon. For the first time in weeks, Tyndrum was actually milder than Leuchars, an indication that the air was drifting in off the cold North Sea.
THE GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN AROUND THE BRITISH ISLES
High pressure is dominating the scene & is likely to do so for several days yet. This means dry conditions continuing, sunny spells & quite warm for late March.
TOMORROW'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRYProbably cloud around first thing, but sunny spells should develop by mid-late morning. Temperatures should reach 16 or 17, as light winds turn more into the SW.
