Moruisg (Highland) weather

Headline:

Dry. Sunny spells on Thursday, but west coast cloudier.

This Evening and Tonight:

The Western Isles and some coasts of the Northwest Highlands will be rather cloudy and mild, but the mainland mainly clear and frosty with patchy freezing fog. Minimum temperature -6 °C.

Thursday:

Another dry day. Cold and sunny for most of Highland, but cloudier for the Isles and west coast, some cloud pushing inland in the southwest breeze. Maximum temperature 5 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Friday mainly dry and bright but some rain crossing from northwest later. Bright start Saturday then some rain later, continuing on Sunday and becoming heavy in the West Highlands.

Monday looks like a mainly dry if largely cloudy day. However, the far north will see some rain, especially northwest Scotland, with some light rain and drizzle likely for west-facing hills elsewhere. All parts will be mild. Around the middle of next week, low pressure may dominate, with a spell of mild, wet and windy weather for most places. Thereafter, while high pressure may try and build at times, especially in the south late in the period, the more likely scenario is for an unsettled regime to dominate. Spells of wind and rain, perhaps with some hill snow in the north, are likely, followed by blustery showers, these most frequent and perhaps wintry at times in the northwest. Temperatures will vary around average, with oscillations between colder and milder interludes.

Mainly unsettled conditions appear more likely than not for most, with spells of wind and rain followed by showers affecting most areas but especially towards the northwest of the UK. Some sleet and snow is also likely at times, especially on high ground in the north. However, there are also some signs that more settled conditions are possible at times, these perhaps most likely across the south late in December and into early January. Temperatures are likely to be around or slightly above average overall, but with any more settled interludes bringing a risk of frost and fog.
