The Daily Star writes that forecasters warn of -7C around Fort William, though the same sentence and its earlier lines source the figure to WXCharts weather maps. The -7C that forecasters gave, as BBC News reports, concerns this week's cold air during the health alert, not the period from 17 November.

“Forecasters warn that temperatures are set to plummet to -7C around Fort William”
Why this matters
These words credit the -7C figure for Fort William to "forecasters" who "warn", and the same sentence admits it comes "according to the maps".

A reader believes official forecasters have issued a warning of -7C at Fort William next week.
The context
The article itself sources this figure to maps produced by WXCharts. The -7C that forecasters did give, as the BBC reports, refers to this week's Arctic air during the UKHSA alert, not to next week.
