Friday's Forecast
Windy, walking impeded
Blustery conditions enough to give buffeting on higher terrain or affect balance on exposed ridges. 25 to 40mph.
Patchy rain or drizzle
Rain on and off, or generally drizzly - total amounts small, but may be persistently damp, especially where hills are shrouded in cloud.
Warm
Comfortable temperatures on the hills, 12 to 16C on tops, feeling pleasantly warm especially on lower ground. Beware of feeling cooler if exposed to wind on higher terrain.

Summary for all mountain areas
Warm and fairly humid southerly winds will bring a few bursts of thundery rain northwards - ahead of more widespread thunderstorms reaching Wales in the evening and most other areas through the night. Some of the rain will be heavy.
Headline for Southeastern Highlands
Gusty winds; scattered bursts rain, chance thunder. Warm.
How windy? (On the Munros)
Southerly, speed fluctuating both in time and between adjacent slopes. Typically 25 to locally a very gusty 40mph morning. Will gradually ease afternoon and evening.
Effect of the wind on you?
Expect variable conditions, sudden gusts even on lower slopes may well make balance difficult. Fairly small later in day.
How Wet?
A few bursts of rain; small risk lightning
In morning, perhaps patches drizzly rain and bursts of heavier rain. Gradually, becoming drier, although still the odd heavy, possibly thundery burst at any time.
Cloud on the hills?
Extensive but cloud base gradually rising
Varied conditions from dawn; cloud covering some slopes below 300m, perhaps widely. Will tend to improve with most cloud near or perhaps above 600m in afternoon, particularly west of A9 - but perhaps changing little near and east of Glenshee, and Ochils.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
10%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Occasional sunshine coming through afternoon, mainly west of A9. Haze and mist mostly lifting (particularly west of A9) to give excellent visibility.
How Cold? (at 900m)
11 to in afternoon 13C
Freezing Level

Frequently or persistently foggy, particularly morning. Fog sometimes from just above the valleys upward. May improve at times, possibly extensively by evening when possible breaks toward 900m.

Cloudy or dull and misty much of the day, particularly away from western summits.

Cloud base will tend to rise, by afternoon mostly 750 to 900m west of A9 and above 1000m further east.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
20% west of A9 to in afternoon 80% near and east of Glenshee

Planning Outlook
Colder air from the west will reach all areas by Sunday. However, low cloud probably very extensive on western mountains, together with drizzly showers. Most of next week will be dry and increasingly warm, but western Scotland will still have occasional rain as weakening fronts affect particularly coastal mountains. By mid week it should be fine everywhere - although it may not last through the following weekend.
