HEADLINES @ 1845Hrs
A cold, but dry, bright morning went downhill during the afternoon, with the approach of fronts from the Atlantic.  Today's highest temperature was 8, while 1.9mms of rain fell up to 1845Hrs.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
A cloudy night throughout, with mainly light rain, though with a few patches of moderate rain on occasions.  The temperature at 0900Hrs this morning,  (1.5), will statistically prove to be the 24Hr minimum temperature for the 21st, but in reality, the night ahead will be relatively mild.

FRIDAY
Pitlochry, as is not uncommon, will be on the border of an east/ west split tomorrow.  Travel into the mountainous areas further west & you are likely to find low cloud & long spells of moderate & sometimes heavy rain.  Travel east or south east & any rain is likely to be mainly light & patchy, with perhaps some dry & brighter spells.  Pitlochry is likely to be mainly cloudy, with spells of rain, mostly light or moderate in intensity. It should, however, be milder than today at around 11.
