Planning Outlook for all mountain areas from Thursday, 11th March, 2010

Cloud, a little rain (snow highest areas) and blustery winds will affect Scotland on Thursday. Still chilly on Friday, over the weekend, and into next week, with slow thaw of lying snow at low levels. Cloud will come and go across the country, this bringing a little drizzly rain (snow higher areas), mainly to western Scotland. Intermittently blustery on highest areas. For the Scottish ski-areas, the snow pack will remain in place until into the week, although there then signs of pulses of milder weather bringing intermittent thaw.
