THE GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN AROUND THE BRITISH ISLES
Pressure is high over the Eastern Atlantic & low over Norway. Air of Arctic origin will affect Scotland, especially tonight & tomorrow, with winds from N. to NNE.
TOMORROW'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRYOnly 3 or 4 degrees as a high is expected (the coldest day since mid-February). It should be dry for much of the time, except for the odd passing shower, which could be of snow at the start of the day. There will be frost early & late & perhaps a light snow cover--but after the March we've had, can we really grumble?
