TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY
Yet another day when very high rainfall totals are expected over Stirlingshire & Western Perthshire, particularly over the higher ground.  Conversely, parts of the East Coast may escape with a largely dry day.
Such days are not the easiest to do "spot forecasting" for an in-between location such as Pitlochry, but as an approximate guide I would think that amounts of rain here might be little more than 5% of that falling in such areas as The Trossachs & Crianlarich, so that a fall of 50mm there would likely give around 2 to 4 mms here. Such a formula, however, would be subject to great volatility!.
So, in summary, generally cloudy, occasional rain (mostly light).

TODAY'S FORECAST FOR PITLOCHRY
Much of the Western Highlands will be very wet yet again, contrasting with parts of the East Coast where some spots will escape  & stay completely dry. Pitlochry, while missing the worst that's on offer, may well be troubled with some spells of "nuisance-value" rain, or possibly a sharper downpour, as well as some dry spells & a glimpse or two of the sun. Temperatures will be close to normal by day though overnight should stay mild.
Winds will be fresh from the SW.

A similar changeable mix to Saturday's weather, though SW winds may be up to force 5.

MAX TEMP  12        WIND  between W & S force 2 or 3       OVERNIGHT MINIMUM   8

TUESDAY
A windy day, with the culprit an ex-tropical storm  scooting through in the westerlies after battering parts of the Caribbean not many days ago. This is by no means unusual at this time of year, though in 1987, other factors combined, not readily identifiable at that time, to create an explosive storm & guarantee Mike Fish a place in the history books.Seemingly now, the acquisition of one of the most powerful computers on the planet, should ensure that the Met Office will be able to give advanced warning when such rare combinations of factors occur again.
Winds are likely to average force 5 or 6, with peak gusts predicted at around 47mph.
Much of the day should be dry, just the chance of the odd shower. Much colder than recently, with best temps only around 7 (as opposed to 17.2 on Saturday.)
