Extensive precipitation (of snow high areas) will move northwards across eastern Britain (exact western edge uncertain), but will also pivot so as to clear eastwards across England whilst advancing westward across northern Scotland. Extensively dry with very clear air further west.
Snow slowly enveloping mostly eastern mountains
Light with variable direction most or all morning. Then northeasterly 15 to perhaps east of Glenshee 25mph, possibly 30mph.
Risk comfort of walking beginning to be impacted through afternoon mainly east of Glenshee.
Snow eastern hills afternoon onwards.
Largely dry or completely morning. Through afternoon snow edging inland from the east coast: highest risk Angus. Risk whiteout in places, although rain below 600m. Precipitation unlikely west of A9.
Many summits cloud free; before forming extensively in precipitation
Patches of cloud some higher slopes until mid morning will mostly or all clear. Where precipitation arrives, so cloud will fill in across higher areas, areas east of Glenshee most at risk.
80%, but dropping through afternoon to 20% near and east of Glenshee
Little if any sunshine, except perhaps as times morning central highlands. Excellent or superb visibility, but very poor or appalling where snow sets in.
-2C after dawn but rising to 3C afternoon. Will drop back to 0 or -1C in snow.
Widely near or below freezing valleys up at dawn. By late morning, tops above freezing point, but abruptly 800m in snow.

South or perhaps southeasterly between 15 and 25mph - tending to strengthen slowly.
Fairly small
Rain, mainly afternoon and evening
Substantially dry morning, but gradually rain spreading north although particularly east of the A9 may amount lo little more than a few bursts of showery rain.
Extensive o. higher areas
Confidence low: Fog on higher areas above 600 to 900 most or perhaps west of A9 all day, sometimes forming at 450m particularly in rain.
20%
Little or no sunshine. Very good or excellent visibility but deteriorating to become poor in rain.
0C rising to 3 or 4C
900m, gradually lifting above the summits from the south. Frost in some valleys at dawn.

Southeasterly 20mph, perhaps 30 or 35mph toward Angus for periods.
May impede ease of walking on some higher areas, particularly easternmost summits.
Little if any rain
Risk of isolated showers, most likely west of A9.
Little if any by late morning
Patches on higher slopes from dawn (perhaps initially extensive) will nearly all clear the summits by late morning. Patches may well return above about 800m near rain.
60%
Occasional sun through layers of high level cloud. Very good visibility.
4 rising to 8C
Above the summits,
Much less cold next week with freezing levels above the mountains. Rain from time to time, particularly Wales - some of the rain heavy and thundery in character. Wind direction predominantly easterly, resulting in frequent low cloud on more eastern mountains, with highest cloud base often near the west coast.
