YESTERDAY IN PITLOCHRYJust sunny intervals rather than any prolonged sunny spells. Around 14.30, I noticed a little soft hail in a series of slight showers. Very cool
THE GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN AROUND THE BRITISH ISLES
A depression & its attendant fronts are moving towards Scotland & barometers across the country will start falling during today. There should be a significant fall of rain (perhaps some sleet) overnight & into tomorrow morning. Unsettled & cool in the further outlook.
TOMORROW'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRYIt's likely to be wet for some of the morning (snow on the highest ground). The more general rain should clear later in the morning leaving a few brighter intervals & perhaps a shower. Rather cold still, but as we are near the centre of the low, winds should be fairly light for the time being.
