LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK---SATURDAY to TUESDAY
Pressure is currently high over Southern Britain, securing continued warmth & sunshine there.Over Scotland, fronts have managed to bring more cloud & a little rain.
Pitlochry should enjoy a reasonable weekend---dry, though perhaps rather short on sunshine. It will, however, be quite warm in the range 17 to 19. Some rain is likely later on Sunday & with pressure then falling, the start of next week is set to become somewhat less settled & rather cooler.
