TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY
We're off to a clear, chilly start & there's a good chance of seeing more sunshine than of late. However, there are still large areas of cloud not too far away & there's every likelihood of skies becoming more cloudy on occasions. Once again, winds will be light, though any breeze is likely to blow from the NW. Top temperatures should reach around 10 or 11.     TONIGHT is likely to become more cloudy, with a cold front, which will introduce an Arctic air stream, passing through later in the night, with temperatures falling towards freezing.

LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----THURSDAY to SUNDAY
Pressure is high to the south of Iceland & a cold N to NW air flow will become established. By Sunday, a low pressure system will move down the North Sea, bringing cloudier skies & a little rain.
THURSDAY may just see some cloud & a little rain initially, but otherwise,  should be dry, bright & rather cold.
FRIDAY & SATURDAY are expected to be dry, bright but cold days, with overnight frosts & daytimes struggling to only 4 or 5 degrees. Saturday especially, will see fresher winds & a wind-chill factor.
