Still cool & showery with NE winds. Much of the morning should be mainly dry, with perhaps some sunny intervals. During the afternoon & evening, showers will have developed across the region & there will generally be more cloudy skies. Some of the showers may affect Pitlochry & there could be hail or thunder in any heavy ones. Equally, as on Thursday & Saturday, we may escape the worst of what's going.
