YESTERDAY IN PITLOCHRYThere were actually a few showery spits for a time after mid-morning, though not enough to measure! That apart, there was again plenty of sunshine, though the highest temperature was 4.7 down on Friday's.
THE GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN AROUND THE BRITISH ISLES
The high pressure no longer features in the immediate outlook. We have a cool NW flow today, but tomorrow should see some welcome rain for the gardens. Don't be surprised to see some sleet or wet snow around, but it's unlikely to stick at lower levels.
TOMORROW'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRYA very different day from what we've got used to!   It is expected to be cloudy with rain at times, falling as sleet or snow on the hills & perhaps turning to sleet or wet snow down to lower levels during the evening & night.Winds SE force 3, maximum temperature only 6 or 7 degrees.
