East-southeasterly 10mph, occasionally approaching 15mph around Callander.

Cloud on the hills?
Fairly extensive, breaking tendency
At dawn, extensive cloud to most lower slopes, many places into glens. Lifting through morning, bases towards central highlands increasingly broken to or above 900m afternoon. East of A9, breaks above 800m will be rare and fleeting.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
20%, rising to 40% towards central highlands
Sunshine and air clarity?
Overcast, misty on high terrain to start. Glimpses of sun breaking out, best breaks west with very good visibility. Cloudiest near east lowlands.

10 or 11C, rising to 12C towards central highlands.
Freezing Level
Above the summits.
Planning Outlook
Staying warm in Scotland, hot for England and Wales into the weekend. High pressure shifts northward, facilitating a strengthening easterly wind across most areas. Some lingering cloud and rain over the Scottish Highlands Saturday with some risk of heavier thundery bursts on Saturday morning in the east. The weekend is likely dry across England and Wales with fairly extensive sun, some sea fog increasingly affecting northeastern hill groups later weekend. Easterly wind persists next week, sometimes quite strong England and Wales. Mostly sunny and very warm, including Scottish Highlands. Low pressure south of the country starts pushing showers into Wales, some heavy and thundery, though confidence is low. Detail increasing uncertain later next week, but Scotland likely stays dry.
