Cloud-free timing: Best around midday at about 25%; around 0% early and 0% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Cushat Law: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). Cloud base mostly around 500–800 m through daylight. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible around midday. Little or no rain expected.

Forecast confidence: Thunderstorm timing is inherently uncertain and may shift by several hours.

Thunder risk: moderate

from early morning into the evening. Leave exposed summits and ridges if thunder develops.

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 20% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Cushat Law: summit wind broadly 10-20 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph around midday (fresh and blowy). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from early morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Cloud base mostly around 400–700 m through daylight. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible around midday. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on western slopes; the eastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected.

Forecast confidence: Summit wind could be roughly 14-25 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel.

Cloud-free timing: Cloudy early, clearing later.

A fine day on Cushat Law: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the morning (fresh and blowy). Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, lifting to 1000–1300 m around midday and 1300–1600 m by late afternoon. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 14-25 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 14-25 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

A mixed day on Cushat Law: summit wind broadly 10-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from the morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Cloud base around 300–600 m in the morning, lifting to 600–900 m around midday and 1000–1300 m by late afternoon. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southwestern slopes; the northeastern 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.

A wild day on Cushat Law: summit wind broadly 30-50 mph, with gusts 60-70 mph during the afternoon (storm-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 15-25 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 300-600 m in the morning, lifting to 800-1100 m around midday. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southwestern slopes; the northeastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected. Low confidence (Summit wind could be roughly 32-56 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 32 to 56 mph; check again nearer the time. Cloud base is the least certain part of this - the models are only moderately agreed, so it could sit a couple of hundred metres either way.

A rough, clagged-in day on Cushat Law: summit wind broadly 25-45 mph, with gusts 50-60 mph around midday (gale-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 15-25 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 western slopes; the eastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Some rain is likely, with around 5-10 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 4 to 8°C, feeling around -2 to 2°C in the wind - wrap up. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 27-48 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 27-48 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range. Cloud base is the least certain part of this - the models are only moderately agreed, so it could sit a couple of hundred metres either way.
