LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----SUNDAY to WEDNESDAY
Pressure remains low around Iceland & high over the Atlantic, W. of Iberia. This leaves Scotland in a changeable W.airflow, with occasional fronts bringing longer spells of rain or concentrations of showers.
SUNDAY is likely to be the best day of the bunch, seeing good sunny spells & above average temperatures (15), though as most days, rather breezy.
MON-WED--will be a mixture of sunshine & showers, probably more emphasis for showers on TUES.  Daytime temps. will reach around 11 or 12 & it will be rather breezy. Nightime temperatures will be in single figures, but no frosts are predicted.
As is usually the case in changeable W. weather, most of the showers will fall to the west of Pitlochry, with places nearer to the E,Coast having few showers & more sunshine.
