A grey, cloudy day on Stob Coir an Albannaich: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are possible from around midday into the evening. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Cloud base around 600–900 m in the morning, then around 800–1100 m around midday and 400–700 m by late afternoon. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible around midday. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on northern slopes; the southern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain.

A rough, clagged-in day on Stob Coir an Albannaich: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph around midday (a moderate breeze). Thunderstorms are possible from the morning into the afternoon. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops.

A persistently wet day is possible, with around 5-10 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. 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.
