TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY
Dry weather, with some spells of sunshine, is likely today, though the afternoon may see rather more cloud around, much as yesterday. Maximum temperatures will be lower than the average, reaching around 14 degrees. While feeling warm in any significant sunshine, the light breezes & shadows will feel quite cool.  TONIGHT should be dry with broken cloud, the base of which should be above the summit of Ben Vrackie, so hopefully, the Jubilee Beacon should be visible. It will, however, begin to feel chilly by late evening, perhaps with a touch of frost on the ground by dawn.

LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----TUES.5th to FRI.8th JUNE
A ridge of high pressure still covers Scotland, but fronts & depressions will start to take over from Tuesday night, thereafter giving an unsettled period, with showers or longer spells of rain, accompanied by low daytime temperatures.
Much of the period will be rather cloudy, especially on Wednesday, whilst Thursday & Friday should see some sunny intervals, though with a likelihood of at least one or two showers in the more cloudy periods. Daytime temperatures are unlikely to reach normal values, though it should feel warm temporarily in any significant sunny breaks. Apart from Tuesday around dawn, ground frost is not expected. Winds should mostly remain below force 5, with Friday likely being the day with the strongest breezes. There will be considerable variability in wind directions, as low centres pass across the country.
