Sgurr Alasdair (Highland) weather

Headline:

Largely cloudy Thursday with patchy light rain.

This Evening and Tonight:

Mostly cloudy through the evening and overnight, but a few clearer spells possible furthest inland which may allow rural grass frost or fog patches. Staying mostly dry by morning but the north and the Isles seeing patchy rain and drizzle. Minimum temperature 5 °C.

Thursday:

A largely cloudy day with very limited bright or sunny spells. Dry for many but with some patchy light rain and drizzle in the north and over the Isles. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Largely dry and cloudy on Friday and Saturday with some sunny intervals. Winds strengthening on Saturday before it turns more unsettled with stronger winds and rain spreading northwards on Sunday.

A rather unsettled pattern is likely through much of this period, as low pressure systems originating over the North Atlantic trundle east or northeastwards across the UK. These will bring showers or longer spells of rain, perhaps accompanied by some strong winds at times, but also interspersed with some drier and brighter interludes, albeit these generally of shorter duration than the recent settled spell. Later in the period, there may be a transition to a slightly cooler and more showery northwesterly regime, as high pressure builds over the Atlantic to the west, and low pressure becomes centred to the east of the UK. Temperatures are likely to be near or slightly above average overall, although may trend slightly below normal later

It is likely to be changeable at first, with a showery northwesterly regime most favoured across the UK. Into November, an unsettled pattern is anticipated, as low pressure systems over the Atlantic track across the UK. These may be shifted farther south than normal, bringing showers or longer spells of rain fairly widely, perhaps also accompanied by some strong winds at times. Temperatures will probably be close to or slightly above average overall.
