WEDNESDAY--WARNINGS of STRONG WINDS
Generally rather cloudy, with some showery rain from time to time. There is a deep low pressure system to the north of Scotland & this is resulting in tightly-packed isobars over the country, meaning strong to gale force winds. The worst of the gales are likely to be across the Central Belt (not for the first time this month). Conditions are likely to be that much more severe around Perth, Dundee, Fife & west from there, probably peaking later in the afternoon.

For longer outlook periods,surface pressure charts, mountain weather & severe weather warnings, go to the Met Office's regional forecasts and click the relevant headings.
HEADLINES @ 1600Hrs
It was dry with broken cloud & sunshine for much of the day, but there was a showery period around 1500---1545Hrs.
There are more showers up-wind of us & many over the higher ground are falling as snow. There is still a chance of another shower or two, perhaps sleety.
It was a colder day & maximum temperatures only managed 4.9 (a full 5 degrees down on yesterday)
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Despite the chance of the odd shower, it will be dry with some clear spells for much of the time. Later on in the night, temperatures may rise a little as cloud increases. Lowest air temperatures close to zero, with a widespread ground frost.
OUTLOOK
CHRISTMAS EVE will see a cloudy wet morning & although staying mostly cloudy, the afternoon should have lighter & more occasional rain. It will be breezy from the S.W. & a couple of degrees up on today.
CHRISTMAS DAY is expected to be mild, wet & windy (high rainfall totals to the west of Pitlochry)
BOXING DAY is likely to be similar to Christmas Day, again with a lot of rain to the west of Pitlochry.
THERE IS A CHANCE OF THE LEVEL OF THE TUMMEL BECOMING VERY HIGH

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
A cold front passed through in the middle of the night, giving a little rain, but more importantly, introducing a clearer, colder air flow. The peak temperature actually occurred late evening (so becoming yesterday's maximum) & at 0900 the actual temperature of 1.2 was also the minimum overnight. Such features are quite common in winter, but almost unknown in the summer half of the year.
PITLOCHRY TODAY
Dry for much, if not all of the time, with broken cloud & intervals of sunshine. It will feel colder than yesterday, with the maximum temperature held at about 5. Winds will be moderate from the west & visibility will be very good. Any isolated showers are most likely over the hills to the west, where they may fall as snow above about 300ms.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
A chilly evening with temperatures falling close to freezing with a widespread ground frost. Later in the night, it may become more cloudy, with temperatures recovering somewhat.
OUTLOOK
CHRISTMAS EVE---Cloudy, with some rain at times, especially a.m. Perhaps some drier periods p.m.. Breezy from the S.W.Maximum temperatures about 6 or7.
CHRISTMAS DAY---Mild, windy with rain at times. BOXING DAY----Still mild with further rain

HEADLINES @ 1830Hrs
Today's mild & drizzly weather, would not have been everyone's cup of tea, many of us prepared to put up with cold & snow lying to get blue skies & sunshine. Nevertheless, it was nice to see the old snow away & the grass, plants & shrubs exposed again & the thermometer briefly in double figures.
The day's highest temperature was 10.2, Pitlochry's highest temperature sinve November 28th. The Tummel was quite high with the rapid overnight snow melt.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Further light rain or drizzle for a time this evening. A cold front is due to cross the area around midnight, giving some rain briefly, but also introducing colder conditions as winds veer a little towards N.W. By dawn, temperatures may have fallen sufficiently to give a slight ground frost in the most prone spots.
FRIDAY
There will be more brightness around tomorrow, even some sunshine, with only a small chance of a shower, the bulk of the day being dry. The temperature, however, will reach nothing like 10, more like 5 at best. But this incursion of colder air is just temporary & it will become milder again for Christmas, so no snow for those dreaming of a white one!!

A very different feel to things this morning! The thermometer touched double digits through the night & much of the lying snow has gone. There was just a hint of drizzle in the light SW breeze. This is tropical maritime air & it makes a nice change, but polar maritime air will be back tomorrow. Which air mass wil win the battle for Christmas Day? (See an extended outlook below). Be positive!!---The days are now going to slowly start getting longer
PITLOCHRY TODAY
December's mildest day so far. This morning will be rather cloudy, with perhaps an odd patch of drizzle, but the afternoon may well stay mainly dry, with cloud rather more broken. Breezy from the S.W. Maximum temperature about 10.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Mostly cloudy, with a spell of rain (cold front), which will introduce polar maritime air, replacing today's tropical maritime air flow. Winds will veer from SW to W or NW, visibility will improve & temperatures will fall to near zero by dawn.
FRIDAY, CHRISTMAS EVE & CHRISTMAS DAY
Colder again tomorrow, but the overall situation is a mobile westerly, so the milder weather will return, but bringing some rain & strong winds at times. Very low chance of a White Christmas!!

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
A very different feel to things this morning! The thermometer touched double digits through the night & much of the lying snow has gone. There was just a hint of drizzle in the light SW breeze. This is tropical maritime air & it makes a nice change, but polar maritime air will be back tomorrow. Which air mass wil win the battle for Christmas Day? (See an extended outlook below). Be positive!!---The days are now going to slowly start getting longer
PITLOCHRY TODAY
December's mildest day so far. This morning will be rather cloudy, with perhaps an odd patch of drizzle, but the afternoon may well stay mainly dry, with cloud rather more broken. Breezy from the S.W. Maximum temperature about 10.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Mostly cloudy, with a spell of rain (cold front), which will introduce polar maritime air, replacing today's tropical maritime air flow. Winds will veer from SW to W or NW, visibility will improve & temperatures will fall to near zero by dawn.
FRIDAY, CHRISTMAS EVE & CHRISTMAS DAY
Colder again tomorrow, but the overall situation is a mobile westerly, so the milder weather will return, but bringing some rain & strong winds at times. Very low chance of a White Christmas!!

HEADLINES @ 1700Hrs
Pretty miserable for most of the day, with drizzle, mist & murk & the lying snow thawing painfully slowly. Today's highest temperature in Pitlochry was only 3, while at Perth Airport it was 8.1 recently & in Glasgow 12.
2or 3 flocks of very noisy geese were flying west just as I was checking today's highest temperature.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
A cloudy evening, though at present, it's not as misty & murky as during daylight hours. There are likely to be some spells of light rain & drizzle overnight, as SW winds freshen & temperatures struggle higher---at last!
THURSDAY
Mild & breezy, with probably the month's highest temperature to date (close to double figures). The morning is likely to see some light rain or drizzle, but the afternoon could be somewhat drier, with some brightness (another one of those days with more rain to the west & drier & brighter further east.

Mist, murk & drizzle out there & some snow & ice sticking around. The mild air hasn't yet reached us. We are now at normal December rainfall total---any more we get is excess.
PITLOCHRY TODAY
Dull, misty & murky, with rain early on, with the moderate stuff dying out to leave patchy drizzle. Perhaps some improvement during the afternoon, with some lifting of the cloud, but staying mainly cloudy. Winds picking up later from the SW. A thaw continuing, with maximum temperatures later in the day, perhaps making 6 or 7.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Cloudy & at times misty & murky, as milder air crosses frozen ground. Temperatures holding in the range 5 to 7, with the thaw of any lying snow continuing. Some mainly light & patchy rain likely too
THURSDAY
A much milder day from the start, though mainly cloudy with a fresh SW breeze.There will be rain at times, with greater amounts west of Pitlochry & somewhat drier further east. Maximum temperatures could approach double figures for the first time this month. Hopefully little snow left by the end of the day...
FRIDAY will be colder, but this swing back should only be temporary.

Early morning brightness was quickly replaced with a sheet of high & medium-level cloud which persisted throughout the day. The thermometer only rose to 3.0 degrees & only a very slow thaw took place. On the positive side, the fresh breeze early on, fell very light as the day went on.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Temperatures will fall slowly this evening, hovering around 0 to +1. Later in the night, a couple of warm fronts will approach the area from the S.W. bringing thicker cloud & some rain & intrducing some milder air for tomorrow
WEDNESDAY
It is likely to be a mostly cloudy day. The morning especially, is likely to be dull & misty, as milder air moves over the snow-covered ground. There is also likely to be some rain & more of a breeze from the S.W. Temperatures eventually should rise to 7 or 8 & the thaw will accelerate.

Feeling quite nippy, with a force 3 W. wind, though temperature above freezing. The lying snow has a very different "texture" to it this morning. Looks as though there is milder weather on the way for tomorrow & probably no white Christmas, save for the mountains.
PITLOCHRY TODAY
A bright start, though with some icy patches on untreated surfaces. Rather more cloud about as the afternoon goes on, but staying dry until later in the evening. Remaining cold, with only a very slow thaw. Maximum temperatures around 3or4
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Cloudy, though a slight frost likely early on. Later, clouds will thicken to give a little sleet or snow for a time, but this will be replaced by milder, damper conditions, with some rain or drizzle overnight. Lowest temperatures during the evening, around -1.
WEDNESDAY
Starting cloudy with some rain or drizzle, but feeling somewhat milder. It will be breezier from the S.W. There should be some dry weather during the afternoon. Maximum temperatures should reach 4 or 5 degrees, with a quicker thaw of lying snow than will be the case today.

Periods of snow until late afternoon, with this morning's snow depth of 3.5cms rising to 6cms. But you didn't have to go far away to find rain falling & no snow around at all e.g. Perth. It was all a question of altitude, with a world of difference between, say, 50 mts & 150mts (The webcams listed in favourite links helping to illustrate today's marked variations).
The temperature had only reached 0.5 here by 1600Hrs.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Some clear spells & generally dry weather, will allow temperatures to fall just below freezing, making slushy surfaces icy by morning.
TUESDAY
It should be a dry day with some sunshine, but still cold, with only a very slow thaw. During the afternoon, cloud will tend to increase & thicken, bringing rain after dark. Any sleet at first, should quickly turn to rain. It will become widier & a little milder.

A surprisingly good day, with plenty of cloud-free sky, particularly this morning. Just a little more cloud in the afternoon & I even felt a slight shower at 1340Hrs.

An outside chance of a sleet shower, but dry by and large, with clear spells. Minimum temperature around -1 or -2.
THURSDAY
A cold start, with a widespread slight frost, but probably blue skies & some sunshine. Winds should be lighter than today. There may well be more cloud as the afternoon wears on, with perhaps a few sleet showers. Maximum temperature around 3.

Weather charts continue to look very disturbed throughout this week & barometers at the moment are reading very low values. At present we are in the "eye" of this storm & it is calm, but winds will strengthen before long. The snow falling at present is showery in nature, so amounts are not expected to be significant, though a snow risk will continue for most of this week.
PITLOCHRY TODAY
A cold, windy day ahead, with the odd snow shower likely, especially this morning, as well as long dry periods, perhaps with some sunshine. Maximum temperatures will reach about 3 & winds will become SW fresh & perhaps strong this afternoon.

HEADLINES @ 1830Hrs
The weather charts are looking very disturbed for much of the week, heralding some spells with strong winds, as well as some periods of rain/ sleet/ snow. The top temperature today was 3.7, but a few icy patches proved very persistent.
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Some rain & perhaps wet snow will spread into the Pitlochry area this evening. Accumulations of snow are only likely above about 250 to 300ms. Later in the night, continuous rain is likely to be replaced by wintry showers, which could give light accumulations of wettish snow at lower levels by dawn, as temperatures fall close to freezing. Winds will be fresh at times from SE this evening & from SW later.
TUESDAY
The morning may be the better part of the day, with wintry showers but also some dry, brighter spells. Later in the afternoon & into the evening, there is likely to be a spell of sleet or snow. It will be a cold day with maximum yemperatures around 2 or 3, with strong winds. There will be very severe conditions on the mountains, with blizzards.
