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.
Banks of hill fog in south will soon disperse. Then fine with hazy sun.
Southerly typically 5 to 15mph, although may increase during day near coast where in places 25mph by evening.
Small, but expect some buffeting near/west of Loch Linnhe & Arran to Mull later in day - affecting higher & lower slopes.
Little or no rain
Chance of a few bursts of rain; likely to amount to very little.
Early banks in south. otherwise very little.
Some cloud banks at first around Loch Lomond NP around 600-900m, but these soon clearing. Otherwise, summits extensively or completely cloud free although from time to time there may be cloud above about 1200m.
80%, but 30% in south at first.
Patches of sunshine, although overall extensive high level, sometimes thin cloud layers. Excellent visibility although there may be increasing haziness through the day.

Low confidence in forecast: Little wind at first, becoming easterly 20-30mph.
Small at first, may increasingly impede walking tops later in the day.
Substantially dry, risk rain evening.
Risk of a scattering of showers developing from late morning onwards, but many hills missing these and staying dry. Risk of rain arriving from south in evening.
Breaks to tops or above, will lower later.
Good breaks to or above tops. Although during showers and also around dawn, some banks higher tops. Bases lowering more widely later in the day in rain.

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.
