Summary for all mountain areas
Windy across higher areas, particularly so those near the north Irish Sea and Scottish Highlands (where widespread upland gales). Drizzly rain will affect some western mountains, but otherwise extensively dry. Much mountain terrain at least partly frozen, particularly morning.
Headline for Southeastern Highlands
Upland gales; Much terrain frozen.
How windy? (On the Munros)
Southwesterly, increasing markedly with height to 40mph, although on higher tops west of A9 sometimes 45 or 50mph.
Effect of the wind on you?
Higher up significant wind chill and challenging walking. Expect balance to be difficult.
How Wet?
Much of region dry
Areas south of about Loch Tay and near and east of Glenshee very likely dry. Elsewhere, extensively dry, but one or two patches of showery rain, or above 600m light snow.
Cloud on the hills?
Most higher mountains foggy. Cloud base highest toward Glenshee.
Cloud base typically 650 to 900m. Toward and east of Glenshee and Ochlls, cloud base mostly above the summits.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
20%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Sunshine now and again, though more extensive toward central belt and near and east of Glenshee. Mostly good visibility but poor in precipitation.
How Cold? (at 900m)
-2C rising slowly to 1C. Will feel as cold as minus 14C directly in the wind.
Freezing Level
Most terrain initially frozen; thawing starting lower slopes as freezing level rises toward 800m, perhaps 1100m by dusk.

How Wet?
Periods of rain, perhaps snow
Areas of rain will circulate within general low pressure, later from west abruptly changing to snow, except in valleys.
Cloud on the hills?
Fog very likely across the mountains all day
Fog in some areas from lower slopes up, and few breaks above 600m.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
10%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Sunshine not expected. Regions of very poor appalling visibility.
How Cold? (at 900m)
1 to 3C, abruptly -2 tp -4C.

Fog rarely clearing above 750m, perhaps later 900m although toward central belt (south of Ben Lawers) breaks to 1050m. Near showers, plumes of cloud near 600m.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
20%

Patches of sunshine, mainly toward central belt. Very poor visibility in snow, but at least briefly very good between showers.

Planning Outlook
On Sunday, uncertainty in forecast detail remains within a complicated area of low pressure. Beyond, cold with higher terrain frequently or almost permanently frozen most or perhaps all next week. Wales, and perhaps N England, will see one or two incursions of much warmer air together with areas of persistent rain and snow. Some higher areas may have a considerable snow. Overall, low precipitation across Scotland, but marked exceptions: here too, where the frequently northerly wind rises over mountains (with the sea directly to the north), accumulations of snow may well be considerable.
