Mostly dry and sunny Thursday and Friday, though a chilly northerly may facilitate a few showers and cloud here and there; becoming cooler for most with freezing levels lowering to high terrain of north and east Scotland for a time. In the short-term, ground conditions remain extensively dry, water courses are very low and the fire risk is very high. Weather turns very unsettled into the weekend as a strong frontal system arrives from the west on Friday evening , bringing heavy rain and strong winds to all areas. Showers and a brisk wind will follow into the weekend and remain unsettled into the following week. Chance of mild or warmer temperatures arriving mid-next week as winds shift southwesterly.
