The southern highlands as far west as the central highlands and north to Ben Alder, Drumochter and summits near Glenshee ski-centre (summits within the historic county of Perthshire). Also Ochils and Angus hills.

A few mostly light showers for the Highlands, but many places dry. Lowest cloud on the hills toward the far north, but some breaks into central Scotland. Low cloud may persist across the Lakes & west Wales with a little rain. Scattered showers for the Pennines. A light to moderate breeze. Coolest in northern Scotland.
Localised showers possible. Cloud lifting toward higher tops.
North to northwesterly 10 to 20mph.
Mostly small, but cool where exposed on high tops.
Isolated showers, locally heavy afternoon.
A few isolated showers, these mostly in the afternoon when they could locally be heavy; most likely hills east of Glenshee.
Early banks lifting to tops or above
Banks of low cloud with bases around 500-800m from dawn. Will lift and likely spread out into a layer of cloud with bases around 1100-1400m, local breaks.
60%
Some patchy sun at times, but skies often filling in with cloud. Visibility very good, but locally poor in any showers.
5 to 7C at dawn, lifting to 8 to 10C.

Westerly or variable, 10 to 15mph or less.
Small
Low risk of a heavy shower
Chance of an isolated shower, mainly middle of day onward. The odd heavy burst is possible later afternoon, drifting around slowly.

A few banks of cloud here and there on highest slopes.

Fairly cloudy, some sun mostly morning. Visibility very good.
5 or 6C at dawn, rising toward 10C afternoon.
Above the summits. Possible grass frost at dawn some glens.
A relatively quiet but rather cool theme into early next week. Local grass frost overnight in sheltered Highland glens. Plenty of dry weather, but also a risk of scattered showers, some heavy. Often fairly cloudy, but cloud bases will lift toward or above most higher summits and the air quite clear. Winds mostly fairly light. Low pressure is expected to dominate from midweek onward, with rain or heavy downpours common again. For now, in places, the ground still very dry underfoot despite recent rain.
