Forecast confidence: Thunderstorm timing is inherently uncertain and may shift by several hours.
from around midday into the evening. Leave exposed summits and ridges if thunder develops.
A mixed day on Sallows: summit wind broadly 10-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph early in the morning (strong winds). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from around midday 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 1400-3100 m) - clear summits. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on eastern slopes; the western 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 22-26 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
