A WARM WELCOME TO PITLOCHRY WEATHER!

Much colder than Saturday, with best temperature struggling to 5. A little rain or sleet for a while later in the night. Still a frost risk by dawn. MONDAY---Possibly a little left-over rain or sleet early. but then a dry day with broken cloud & some sunshine. Feeling cold with a fresh NW breeze. Overnight frost widespread.  TUESDAY---Very cold, but some sunshine. Just the chance of an odd snow shower later on. Widespread overnight frost.
