Saturday's Forecast
Moderate breeze, locally gusty
A noticeable breeze, feeling cool where exposed on tops. Locally may be gusty, but unlikely to affect walking progress. 15-25mph.
Patchy rain or drizzle
Rain on and off, or generally drizzly - total amounts small, but may be persistently damp, especially where hills are shrouded in cloud.
Poor visibility
Murky conditions with areas of fog shrouding the hills, making navigation challenging. Map and compass essential.
Chilly
Air temperature typically 0 to 5C on higher summits. Feeling distinctly chilly on tops when stationary or where exposed to wind. Take appropriate layers.

Planning Outlook
High pressure persists into the start of the new week with light winds for much of Scotland, though an easterly wind will increase for England and Wales. The west and northwest Highlands most extensively dry with cloud breaks and sun. However, disappointing for other areas as 'gloomy' conditions predominate, with patches of light rain and extensive low cloud and fog. Into midweek, an area of low pressure will bring rain and wind in from the southwest but northern Scotland may escape most or all the rain. Late in the week, indications favour a switch to a colder northerly flow for a time in Scotland at least and brings scope for snow showers to northern mountains.
