TODAY in PITLOCHRY
Mainly cloudy, with rain at times. There may be occasions when it becomes drier, or at least the rain eases off & becomes more drizzly in nature, though later in the day, more significant rainfall is expected.
Winds will be at their lightest initially, but there is expected to be an increase in the SE wind as the day goes on, veering to SW up to at least force 6 overnight.
Temperatures are likely to be at their highest during the evening (8 degrees), but falling later in the night to give a ground frost.
A stormy spell lies ahead, as very deep depressions move from the Atlantic, passing to the north of Scotland. So, in summary, the notable features for the THURDAY to SATURDAY period are likely to be:---
Often very windy (force 4 to 6), mostly from S or SW.
Generally feeling on the cold side by day (3 to 5), with overnight ground frosts.
Mainly large amounts of cloud, with little in the way of sunshine.
Rain (& probably some sleet or snow on Thursday) to be expected, as active fronts cross the area.
BUT at least, the worst of the rain & gales seems likely to be further west, while no significant snow or freeze-ups seem likely between now & Christmas.
