Easterly, 10 to perhaps 15mph (strongest near central belt).

Rain now and again.
Damp weather with pockets of light or very light rain drifting slowly west will come and go most frequently near and east of Glenshee and Ochils.
Cloud on the hills?
Extensive, particularly more eastern hills
Confidence low. Broadly, cloud base typically 500-700m with the top 1100m or above. But particularly in rain, pockets of or extensive cloud lower slopes, particularly eastern hills where base 300-450m.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
20% (in places with fog below)
Sunshine and air clarity?
Overall extensive or particularly east of A9 persistently cloudy or dull. The air generally very clear, though misty in rain
How Cold? (at 900m)
2C
Freezing Level
Above the summits - frost some valleys overnight and perhaps ground frozen higher tops.
Planning Outlook
High pressure will be the main influence through the next week, particularly in Scotland where extensively dry and wind often light. Over England and Wales, the weekend may be 'disappointing' as after a little rain, low cloud and mist may well predominate under light wind. Nevertheless some mountains may clear.
