Forecast confidence: A low thunderstorm risk remains difficult to time precisely.

Cloud-free timing: Best around midday at about 100%; around 67% early and 80% later.

A fine day on Corserine: summit wind broadly 10-30 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 900-1200 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected.

Forecast confidence: Forecast models disagree on whether meaningful rain reaches the hills during 10:00-16:00.

High spate risk

Burns and unbridged crossings may rise quickly. Assess them at the water and turn back if unsure.

A grey, cloudy day on Corserine: summit wind broadly 10-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the evening (strong winds). High spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may become difficult or impassable. Most likely from around 00:00 until around 21:00. Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base mostly around 400–700 m through daylight. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on northwestern slopes; the southeastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 19-30 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
