After a chilly start, a fine day will follow with a patchwork of sunshine. Chance of a few bursts of rain here and there, mainly inland in the afternoon. High cloud bases with hills extensively clear, although some banks of hill fog at first; particularly SE Highlands.
Early cloud banks clearing. Then fine with hazy sun. Increasingly blustery.
Southerly typically 15mph at first, although will increase during day to 20 to 25mph, particularly western summits where perhaps 30mph by evening
Mostly small, but there may be some buffeting western mountains later in day - affecting both higher & lower slopes.
Little or no rain
Chance of a few bursts of rain; likely to amount to very little.

Low confidence in forecast: Easterly 25-40mph, risk 50mph early in day. May ease and become southerly later.
Walking arduous, or on higher tops difficult, at times through the day.
Pulses of rain, perhaps much of day.
Areas of rain will edge across the area to give frequent rainfall through day. Some heavy and perhaps thundery pulses and becoming more widely showery later.
Extensive
Very likely cloud shrouding the hills in fog extensive for much of the day. Bases generally around 500-800m, perhaps briefly breaking off tops in the west.
20%
Little or no sun. Visibility often poor due to rain, and otherwise fairly hazy.

Low confidence in detail: Northeasterly 15 to 25mph, risk 30mph tops for a time.
Blustery, will impede walking at times across higher tops with marked chill.
Early rain, clearing to showers.
A slow-moving front may bring some rain from dawn, but this will tend to fizzle out and disperse to the south. Drier conditions following with still with a few showers.
Covering tops morning, then clearing.
Banks of cloud are likely to cover tops in fog for a few hours in morning, some patches to lower slopes. However, bases lifting and breaking up into afternoon.
30% lifting to 70%
Overcast start, but some patchy sun breaking through as day progresses. Visibility poor in early rain, but improving through day as front clears.
5C lift to 8C
Above the summits.
Fairly chilly pattern early next week, but mostly fine with hills often clear as a ridge of high pressure dominates. However from midweek onwards, whilst turning warmer, it will become more changeable with the risk of pulses of showery rain from time to time as pressure gradually lowers from the west. However, there will still be some dry and fine periods; these conditions perhaps predominating still across eastern areas where broadly any rainfall amounts will be small.
