2 day Forecast for the LAMM
Area is Spittal of Glenshee to Blair Atholl
Synoptic Situation at 1200UTC on Friday
13th June 2003
Low 1009mb Lerwick moves slowly east
and fills. High 1025mb centred over Plymouth
moves northeast to lie off Humber 1025 by
midday Saturday. A weak weather front will
cross the local area in the evening on Saturday
then a new high builds and develops and
extends a strong ridge over much of Scotland
by midday Sunday. The area will lie in a
warm, stable, humid, light to moderate W'ly
flow.
Tonight - Any isolated showers will
die out to give a fine dry night and with
light winds some mist could form in the
glens. Lowest temperatures between 6 and
10C.
Saturday - After a bright dry start
increasing amounts of cloud will move in
from the northwest to bring a few light
showers into the evening. Otherwise it should
be largely dry and fine with some sunshine
to start the day, the sunshine becoming
increasingly hazy through the day. Winds
will be light and mainly from the south
no more than 5-10mph in the glens, 12-17mph
above 1000m. Temperatures ranging from 10C
in the early morning to as much as 20C by
early afternoon, 20C is 68F.
Saturday night - Any patchy rain
will move away but for a time some low cloud/hill
fog will cover the hills above 700m, clearing
away to the east by early morning. Overnight
winds will be W'ly 10-15mph and temperatures
falling to between 8 and 11C.
Sunday - Starts fine and warm with
some hazy sunshine and only patchy cloud,
a few showers may develop in the afternoon
mainly for the hills and mountains above
500m but these will be isolated and for
the most part it will be a dry day. Light
SW'ly winds, 10-12mph in the glens and 15-20mph
above 1000m and temperatures will reach
18-22C (72F) so it will feel warm and humid.
NOTE
There is a moderate risk of heat stress
this weekend, warm humid weather will make
the conditions challenging, also the sun
index (on a scale of 1 to 10) is 5 or 6
so the appropriate pre-cautions should be
taken to avoid damage to the skin.
