Burns and unbridged crossings may rise quickly. Assess them at the water and turn back if unsure.

A grey, cloudy day on Shalloch on Minnoch: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the evening (strong winds). High spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may become difficult or impassable. Most likely from around 00:00 until around 00:00 the following day. Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base mostly around 300–600 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 northwestern slopes; the southeastern 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 19-27 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
