Weather

Rain spreads east in the early morning, heaviest and most persistent over ranges west of the A9, generally patchier over more sheltered northeastern areas such as Ben Rinnes and Ladder Hills. This accompanied by widespread summit gales and some storm-force gusts over the highest summits. The worst of the rain clear by mid-morning, but staying rather cloudy in the west until the evening, best of the clearer, brighter spells in the northeast. Further mainly light showers spread east through the rest of the afternoon, meanwhile winds will gradually ease. Becoming dry with clear spells in the evening.
