Planning Outlook
Warm front passing on Friday brings briefly milder temperatures, gales and rain in western Highlands, before flow changes back to northerly for the weekend. Saturday frequently wet in Scotland, snow on the tops, rain lower down. High pressure meaning cool but sunny Sunday, still sunny on Monday but southerly winds increasingly strong on western hills. Warmer next week, any snow soon melting and probably a few dry but windy days in the start of the week. Conditions possibly deteriorating midweek.
