Planning Outlook
Pressure will fall over the weekend: a little rain for some western mountains on Saturday, but more widespread rain (snow higher areas Scottish Highlands) on Sunday - albeit the detail for Sunday is unusually uncertain (for a 3 day forecast). Cold often dry conditions will return on Monday, but beyond extensive rain (sometimes snow higher areas) and strong winds probable, although presently Scotland, particularly the Highlands may have only snow showers in the cold air.
