This afternoon it'll be cold, wet and windy across most of Scotland.

We're under the influence of a low-pressure

and this weather front pushing northwards is bringing clouds and outbreaks of rain.

The rain of course will be heaviest over the borders

and around Edinburgh, where it could lead to difficult conditions on the roads.

In the West, rain will be lighter and patchy with maybe a few

drier interludes over Dumfries house in Ayrshire. Aha.

There will be snow for the higher ground of the Highlands

and Aberdeenshire. The potential for a few flurries over Balmoral.

Who the hell wrote this script? As the afternoon goes on.

The best of the drier and brighter weather

will of course be over the Northern Isles in the far north of the mainland.

So a little hazy sunshine to the Castle of Mey in Caithness.

But a cold day everywhere with temperatures of just eight Celcius

and a brisk north-eastly wind.

Thank God it isn't a Bank Holiday.
