Southeastern Highlands
The southern Highlands as far west as the Callander area and north to Loch Ericht, Drumochter and summits near Glenshee ski-centre (summits within the historic county of Perthshire). Also Ochils and Angus hills.
Saturday's Forecast
Moderate breeze, locally gusty
A noticeable breeze, feeling cool where exposed on tops. Locally may be gusty, but unlikely to affect walking progress. 15-25mph.
Patchy rain or drizzle
Rain on and off, or generally drizzly - total amounts small, but may be persistently damp, especially where hills are shrouded in cloud.
Poor visibility
Murky conditions with areas of fog shrouding the hills, making navigation challenging. Map and compass essential.
Chilly
Air temperature typically 0 to 5C on higher summits. Feeling distinctly chilly on tops when stationary or where exposed to wind. Take appropriate layers.
Winter kit required on higher terrain
Snow cover over higher mountains. Safe progress over some terrain will require suitable footwear - possibly crampons and ice-axe where necessary.

Summary for all mountain areas
As less cold air penetrates the UK, only higher summits in Scotland will remain below freezing point. Nevertheless, much mountains terrain will remain frozen and icy. Rain and strong winds overnight will have eased to in Scotland and through the morning will clear Wales and N England.
Headline for Southeastern Highlands
A few showers; mountains extensively foggy. Terrain mostly frozen.
How windy? (On the Munros)
Westerly 20 to 25mph. Will tend to ease through the afternoon.
Effect of the wind on you?
Mostly fairly small, although particularly in the morning still considerable wind chill where exposed.
How Wet?
Showery; snow confined above 900m
A few showers west of A9 - very few and brief eastward toward and east of Glenshee.
Cloud on the hills?
Extensive - although some higher slopes may gradually clear
Very varied; overall most mountains cloud covered, in some areas from valleys up. Nevertheless, particularly afternoon, breaks to higher slopes - sometimes above fog lower down.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
20%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Patches of sun coming through in places above fog, most widely east of the A9. Visibility varied, areas of fog (sometimes in or just above valleys), but otherwise very good.
How Cold? (at 900m)
1C. Feeling like -7C directly in the wind.
Freezing Level
1050m; but much terrain from valleys up frozen.

Cloud on the hills?
Extensively covering higher tops Angus; may clear elsewhere
Near and east of Glenshee: Cloud base varying as showers come and go: typically 600m, but shafts of cloud below 400m near precipitation. Higher cloud base elsewhere, breaks to 1200m.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
70% but 20% toward Angus
Sunshine and air clarity?
Patches of bright sunshine, particularly toward central belt. Little if any sun and frequent poor visibility Angus. Otherwise visibility very good or excellent.

Planning Outlook
Another brief burst of cold air on Monday and Tuesday will bring further snow to northern Scotland. By Wednesday, milder air together with rain and strong wind will be extending across Britain. Rain and strong wind will be frequent, particularly on western mountains for the remainder of the week. In Scotland temperatures on the Munros will sometimes be below freezing point, but fresh snow probably transient, whereas elsewhere, snow rare if any.
