Headline for Southeastern Highlands
Mostly dry, patchy cloud breaks to be widely sunny.
How windy? (On the Munros)

Marked wind chill at first particularly eastern mountains, becoming small for several hours. Deteriorating after dark, significantly into night.

Cloud on the hills?
Mostly very little
Some patchy cloud around higher slopes in the morning, mostly areas east of the A9, but all likely to break up leaving most mountains clear middle of day onward. Into night, cloud starting to lower onto tops.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
70% rising above 90%
Sunshine and air clarity?

Chance of cloud free Munros?
10%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Overcast and dull. Visibility mostly poor, appalling if in snow and cloud on high terrain.

Shrouding most high terrain all day, some banks to lower levels in east. Local breaks may emerge toward central highlands, rarely above tops.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
20%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Little or no sun. Visibility good where dry, but often reduced, very poor at times if in snow.

Planning Outlook
Scottish mountain tops stay below freezing throughout this week ahead, snowfalls on Tuesday most prolonged east and southern areas. Thereafter, the Highlands see mostly little precipitation this week, but snow and hail showers will feed in from the north at times, locally giving frequent snow to the far north and the north Cairngorms. Frost also common in the glens. For England & Wales, snow on Monday night turns to rain into Tuesday as the freezing level rises above the summits, then dropping back to freezing above 800m midweek with a mix of rain and upland snow. A mixed outlook into the weekend and beyond, some quieter windows, but further areas of rain and hill snow are likely, perhaps milder air into late November.
