Achintraid (Highland) weather

Headline:

Mainly dry in the east on Tuesday, showers in west.

This Evening and Tonight:

Scattered showers in the west through the evening and overnight, a few getting across to the east at times. A slight frost and a few icy patches. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Tuesday:

The west will sunny spells and a few showers, these most frequent across the Western Isles. Largely dry and bright across the east. Light winds. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Wednesday will see showers in the north and west, mainly coasts, but dry elsewhere. Rain for a time on Thursday. Rain clearing to showers on Friday and becoming very windy.

This looks like being and unsettled and disturbed period of weather across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts, with southern and eastern areas probably missing the worst of the conditions a lot of the time. Over the weekend, after Friday's deep low and associated stormy weather, another system looks likely to move towards the UK from the Atlantic, driven in by the strong jet stream. There is the potential for further weather warnings or even a named storm at some point. Temperatures overall, are likely to end up being around normal or slightly above average, though given the strength of wind at times, it probably won't feel especially mild, especially when it's raining too.

Generally mild at first, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds, alternating with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes, but with time these should become increasingly confined to northern parts. Pressure may build across southern areas, which would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost with temperatures falling correspondingly.
