The remains of a front will bring a mostly cloudy day with rain on and off southern. Scotland southwards, whilst further north only isolated showers. Winds light, except in the far north of Scotland, and temporarily in west Wales, where blustery.
A few showers; cloud lifting above most summits.
Westerly 15 to on higher tops in Lochaber, sometimes 20mph.
Small.
Chance drizzly showers, mainly morning.

Clearing many summits - persisting some coastal slopes & perhaps highest tops
Generally cloud often covering higher slopes in morning will lift to clear most summits, although may remain extensive above 1050 to 1200m. On immediate coastal slopes, the cloud many persist or come and go, above 500 to 800m (varied base).
20% close to the coast, but by afternoon 70% wet inland

South to southwesterly 20mph eastern hills to 25mph. Perhaps sometimes 30mph Mull.
Mostly fairly small.
Extensively dry; possibly rain near coast
A weakening front making slow progress in from the west may well give drizzly rain Mull and possibly other hills west of Loch Linnhe. Elsewhere probably dry or negligible rain.
Extensive near Mull; otherwise very little
Mull and west of Loch Linnhe: Fog may well cover the hills from 400-600m all or most of the day. Elsewhere: fragments on higher tops, possibly widespread above 1200m and 1000m western Loch Lomond NP.
