Probably little wind much of day. May become northeasterly 10-15mph.
Mostly negligible
Possible snow flurries
Chance of an isolated snow or soft hail flurry. Where these do form, they will move around slowly for an hour or so.
Little if any
Fragments of cloud may briefly form on higher slopes in morning, otherwise most cloud which forms will be above the hills. Brief patches on tops if showers occur.
90%
Periods of sunshine; cloud sometimes filling in, particularly by afternoon. Visibility excellent.
0C rising to 3C.
Frost in some valleys and corries from dawn; then typically just above freezing to highest summits.
High pressure influences Britain through the next week to 10 days, maintaining quiet and fairly cool conditions, although a gradual rise of temperature is expected. Frost remains common, with a general rise of freezing level on the mountains into the afternoons. Existing lying snow on higher mountains will stay in place, thawing slightly during daytimes. Sun and variable cloud; most mountains often clear. Very little precipitation, apart from very isolated showers of snow or soft hail. Mostly light winds, but there may be some strengthening of wind around next weekend.
