A little rain Scottish Highlands, and mainly near the west coast low cloud. Elsewhere, dry, but fog wise very varied conditions. Fog in many valleys thins only slowly - if at all. On the hills, cloud often covering higher tops near N Irish Sea, otherwise tops often cloud free.
Rain rarely; wind dropping. Cloud mostly confined to higher tops.
Starting southwesterly 20 to 30mph. Will drop progressively, by midday, widely 10mph.
Becoming negligible
Risk of a little rain
Substantially dry, although here and there a burst of rain, most likely west of the A9.
Nearly all confined to higher tops
Fragments of cloud west of A9 below 550m, but cloud base more typically 750 to 950m. East of A9, fragments rare below 600m, whilst most cloud above 1050 to 1200m.

A little weak sunshine - through high level cloud. Visibility very good or excellent.

Southerly, 10 to locally 20mph, but some areas little wind.
Small.
Little or no precipitation
Chance of local patches of rain, snow flurries higher slopes.
Extensive before tops increasingly clear
Confidence low in morning as to the extent of cloud across the hills. From Ben Alder to southern Cairngorms NP, the cloud could persist all day, although is more likely to lift slowly. Further north, a more definite improvement, cloud becoming rare below 800m, and some higher tops may clear.
50%
Sunshine breaking through increasingly, and visibility good, but a general slight haze.
0C rising slowly toward 2C.
Tending to rise from around 900m to 1250m during the day. Frost many glens after dawn.

Westerly 25mph, to locally 35mph mainly Cairngorm plateau.
Mostly fairly small, although noticeable buffeting probable higher tops.
Rain unlikely
Confined to higher tops
Patchy cloud, mainly southern Cairngorms NP above 750m. However, more widely, summits up to 1200m often cloud free, and highest tops may be clear of cloud for much of the day.
60%
Patches of sun. Mostly excellent visibility.
3C
Just above highest summits, although slight frost some valleys after dawn.
Very much drier over the coming week, although weakening fronts will bring a little rain and pulses of strong winds, mainly to the NW Highlands. Elsewhere, winds light and although extensively dry, fog will be widespread in and above valleys whilst higher up many summits become cloud free. Temperature wise, the odd brief incursion of sub-freezing air onto higher summits Scottish Highlands, but any sustained cold at least a week off. Frost in valleys mostly confined to England and particularly Wales.
