Planning Outlook
Dropping colder across all mountains during midweek as the wind shifts northerly and strengthens. Some showery snowfall across the Highlands on Wednesday, otherwise plenty of sunshine and very clear air late this week, for all areas - clearing away fog from early in the week. Into the weekend, as the wind shifts west then southwesterly, less cold air drifts in from the Atlantic bringing more cloud onto western hills - an increasing risk of rain in the west. A changeable outlook into next week with varying temperatures, stronger wind at times, rain and some upland snow possible. Unsettled patterns are more likely to prevail beyond mid-month.
