Merrick weather forecast.

Cloud-free timing: Cloudy early, clearing later.

A wild day on Merrick: summit wind broadly 20-40 mph, with gusts 45-55 mph during the evening (gale-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 500–800 m in the morning, lifting to 1000–1300 m around midday and 1400–1700 m by late afternoon. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southeastern slopes; the northwestern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 33-37 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

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

Cloud-free timing: Cloudy early, clearing later.

A wild day on Merrick: summit wind broadly 25-40 mph, with gusts 45-55 mph during the morning (gale-force winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from around midday into the evening.

Cloud base around 500–800 m in the morning, then around 3000–3300 m around midday and 1400–1700 m by late afternoon. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. 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 5-10 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain.

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

Cloud-free timing: Best around midday at about 75%; around 0% early and 0% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Merrick: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from around midday into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Cloud base around 500–800 m in the morning, then around 900–1200 m around midday and 400–700 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from midday into the afternoon.

A grey, cloudy day on Merrick: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the evening (strong winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from around midday into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, then around 600–900 m around midday and 400–700 m by late afternoon. 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. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 19-33 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 19-33 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

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

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 40% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Merrick: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph early in the morning (a moderate breeze). Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, then around 900–1200 m around midday and 600–900 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from midday into the afternoon. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain.

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

Cloud-free timing: Best around midday at about 100%; around 0% early and 0% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Merrick: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph early in the morning (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 400–700 m in the morning, then around 2900–3200 m around midday and 400–700 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from the morning into the afternoon. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 14-27 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 14-27 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

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

A rough, clagged-in day on Merrick: summit wind broadly 20-40 mph, with gusts 45-55 mph during the evening (gale-force winds). Thunderstorms are possible from the morning into the evening. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, lifting to 600–900 m around midday and 700–1000 m by late afternoon. 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 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 27-43 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 27-43 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
