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

Thunder risk: high

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

Cloud-free timing: Cloudier around midday at about 75%; around 100% early and 100% later.

A wild day on Green Gable: summit wind broadly 25-40 mph, with gusts 45-55 mph early in the morning (gale-force winds). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from the morning into the evening. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 1900-3100 m) - clear summits. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southeastern slopes; the northwestern 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 (Summit wind could be roughly 30-42 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 30-42 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

A wild day on Green Gable: summit wind broadly 20-40 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph during the afternoon (gale-force winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from around midday into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Severe spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may become unsafe or impassable. Most likely from around 16:00 until around 06:00 the following day. Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 20-40 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 28-37 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
