LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----FRI. 15th to MON. 18th
Not a promising period!  A deep low in the SW approaches will move NE to be over N.England by Saturday. Pitlochry is near the northern edge of its associated rain belt but I am leaning towards the pessimistic side. Friday is expected to be dull with spells of rain, often light, just occasionally moderate. It will be very cool with winds E to NE force 4 to 5. Saturday should be mainly cloudy, cool & breezy, though with any rain mainly light & occasional. Sunday promises to be a little better,  possibly any rain more likely in the evening & winds a little lighter. Monday looks like a day of sunny intervals & showers, with winds into the W.  Daytime temperatures way down on normal throughout the period,  normal being17 degrees & expected values 9 to 12.
