LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK
THURSDAY---Dry, with broken cloud & sunny intervals. Colder at 4 degrees.  Wind W2.  Clear at times overnight, with a widespread ground frost & localized air frost.
FRIDAY---Rather more cloudy, with perhaps a little rain clipping the area briefly.  Wind SW3, with max. temp. a rather cold 4.  A cold,misty night with a touch of air frost.
FURTHER AHEAD---Less emphasis on wet weather, but more on lower temperatures including frosts. 


Watching the excellent programme about the stars last night (BBC 2  8pm)---made me wonder whether the Aurora had ever been seen from Pitlochry?   Let me know if & when you've seen a display in the local area.
