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.
Sunday's Forecast
Windy, walking impeded
Blustery conditions enough to give buffeting on higher terrain or affect balance on exposed ridges. 25 to 40mph.
Snow and rain mix
Precipitation falling mostly as snow on higher terrain, rain on low-to-middle elevations, may turn to sleet or rain higher up.
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
Low pressure will dominate the weather bringing areas of strong winds, rain (or snow on higher areas) and extensive fog to the hills - whiteout in places mainly southern Highlands. Windiest in Wales where upland gales will strengthen, whilst least windy S Scotland.
Headline for Southeastern Highlands
Windy; frequent rain or snow. Higher areas frozen.
How windy? (On the Munros)
Easterly, in the range 20 to 35mph, least wind near central belt.
Effect of the wind on you?
Expect arduous walking where exposed; in places sudden gusts will reach lower slopes. Considerable wind chill.
How Wet?
Rain or higher up snow most or all day
Rain, or above 600-900m snow rarely ceasing; risk whiteout.
Cloud on the hills?
Extensive across the mountains
Persistent fog most mountains, widely above 400 to 600m, and sometimes covering lower slopes.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
Almost nil
Sunshine and air clarity?
Cloudy or dull; extensive fog on even lower hills.
How Cold? (at 900m)
Around 0C. Will feel as cold as minus 10C directly in the wind.
Freezing Level
700 to 1050m (poorly defined); some lower areas may still be partly frozen.

Generally, cloud base 800 to 1200m. Cloud will lift off some higher summits, whilst 'hanging' on some slopes and in corries all day.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
50% elsewhere
Sunshine and air clarity?
Bright sunshine, most widely toward central belt. The air very clear so excellent visibility, but fog some valleys and higher slopes.
How Cold? (at 900m)
-1C
Freezing Level
Around 750m, rising slowly through day. Some frozen ground lower slopes after frost in valleys.
Planning Outlook
After a brief burst of cold air on Monday and Tuesday winds will turn westerly. It will be milder with a week or more frequent rain and upland gales, particularly on western mountains. In Scotland, temperatures on the Munros will sometimes be below freezing point, but fresh snow transient, whereas elsewhere, snow rare, if any.
