Becoming more blustery, starting to feel noticeable on exposed terrain. Deteriorating with stronger winds into night.
Damp air some slopes
Occasional fine drizzle where in cloud, mostly in east.
Fairly persistent, varied heights in morning
Often covering hills, lowest and most extensive in morning, 500-700m, some upper slopes may be near top of layer. Breaks tending to gradually form afternoon around some slopes, base rising a little, mostly above 800-900m afternoon.

Varied cloud banks, clearer areas
Banks of cloud at various elevations from lower slopes upward from dawn, some slopes may be between cloud layers for a time. Tending to lift mostly above 800-1000m, substantial breaks may form.

Fronts moving in from the Atlantic by Sunday bring rain, widely setting in heavy for several hours, soonest Wales, here later clearing. A more unsettled outlook into next week as low pressure dominates with areas of rain and showers, which will vary locally day-to-day. Wind speeds will also vary, but some lulls. Potentially significantly colder later in the week with northerly winds, dropping below freezing on higher mountains, with snow showers especially Scottish Munros.
