TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY
A troublesome, slow moving front is wriggling around over S. Scotland, giving cloud & some rain. This affected us all day yesterday & may just move far enough north later in the day to cloud things up & bring some light rain perilously close. Meanwhile, parts of N. Scotland, as well as much of England & Wales, bask in warm sunshine & gin-clear skies. London may just hit 31.  Pitlochry seems lined up for a day with some sunshine,but also some more cloudy patches. It should stay dry, but keep an eye on the sky to S & SE where some rain might just sneak up from, later in the afternoon. Winds SW2/3, max. temp.18.
