Planning Outlook for all mountain areas from Wednesday, 10th February, 2010
High pressure will dominate the weather over all mountain areas for the coming week, although areas of very extensive cloud will cross Britain within its circulation (breaking at times toward the west). The cloud will occasionally give light snowfall, but for most areas falls will be very small, although the Cairngorms will over several days have a few inches.
