Nothing to add.

Mostly dry with clear spells in the morning, but the very odd light shower possible for northern parts of the Aberdeenshire Hills, such as Bennachie. Dry through the day with variable cloud and bright or sunny spells, though high cloud will turn the sunshine hazy at times in the afternoon.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
75% early morning. Otherwise 90% or higher.
Low cloud and visibility
Areas of cloud down to 600-800m or so in the early morning, these gradually lifting and breaking after dawn. Any cloud above summits by midday with good or excellent visibilities.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
