Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 16-28 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

A grey, cloudy day on Mullach Fraoch-choire: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph during the afternoon (a moderate breeze). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from early morning into the afternoon. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Cloud base around 700–1000 m in the morning, lifting to 800–1100 m around midday and 1000–1300 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from late afternoon into the evening. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. 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 Mullach Fraoch-choire: summit wind broadly 15-40 mph, with gusts 40-50 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 700-1000 m in the morning, lowering to 400-700 m around midday. 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. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 5-10 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. 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 21-44 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 21-44 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
