A cloudy start to the day & the skies looking none to promising; rather more pessimism in the forecast than previously thought!     REMEMBER THE BROADBAND CHANGE----MIGHT AFFECT THIS EVENING or TOMORROW MORNING.

PITLOCHRY TODAY
An upper air trough will bring cloudy skies & a little light rain at times this morning. This afternoon should become mostly dry, still partly cloudy, but with the likelihood of a few sunny intervals. It will be cool for late August, with a high of about 16.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Apart from the chance of an isolated light shower, the period will be dry. Skies will be partly cloudy, but with sunny intervals followed by some clear spells. Lowest temperatures around 8 degrees.

OUTLOOK
WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY----Uneventful days, weatherwise, for the change of month. Rather cloudy & apart from the odd light shower, dry for the most part. Temperature will still be around 2 or 3 degrees below normal.
