Showery rain in Scotland tends to ease, cloud increasingly clearing tops of central and southeast highlands. Morning cloud and patchy rain in south Scotland and England tends to improve as well; afternoon showery outbreaks from Cheviots down the eastern Pennines. Wet and dull in Wales, improving afternoon.
Morning rain then showers, mostly east; cloud improves west
Northwesterly 15 to 20mph, occasional 25mph highest tops.
Fairly small, occasional uncomfortable gusts and feeling cool on high tops.
Occasional rain and showers
Morning rain on slopes east of Glenshee soon passes east. Scattered showers during afternoon, an odd heavier burst, focused later toward the east.
Fairly extensive on higher areas, improving near/west of A9
Covering higher slopes fairly widely above 900-1100m, lower for a time in rain over east mountains. Lifting above higher slopes occasionally afternoon, best of breaks south/east of Loch Tay. Ragged patches lowering in showers.
30%, rising to 50% near and west of A9
Rare bursts of sun, some improvement towards central Highlands later in the day. Visibility reduced in rain, later becoming very good.
9C, rising to 10 or 11C. Local hillslopes may reach up to 12C near Callander/Ochills. Feeling near to freezing in stronger wind on highest tops.

West-northwesterly 15-20mph, often gusty over high terrain. Trending westerly through the day.
Fairly small though quite gusty over high terrain.
No rain expected
Little morning cloud, soon clear
Most hills clear from dawn, some odd patches drifting around 1000m central Highlands - tops above the cloud layer. Dissipating for cloud-free hills.
Above 90% - cloud layers below tops
Sunshine increasingly extensive. High cloud builds from the west later. Excellent visibility.
6 or 7C, rising to 12C, locally warmer on slopes nearest to Perth. Little or no drop in temperature as night falls.
Above the summits
Westerly winds prevail in the extended outlook, though the weather will be changeable. Heavy rain and strong wind is expected Saturday night and Monday, though detail remains uncertain currently. High pressure will bring a brief settled spell around midweek with a mix of cloud and sun, then occasional low pressure systems come and go - western mountains often shrouded in cloud with periods of rain, at times heavy. Some cloud and rain drifts east, mostly in Scotland. Variable winds too, at times quite blustery. Temperatures near average, variably cooler north. Ridges of higher pressure will build occasionally from the southwest for better windows of weather, particularly England & Wales.
