A grey, cloudy day on Beinn Narnain: summit wind broadly 25-35 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph during the morning (gale-force winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from the morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 800-1100 m in the morning, lowering to 500-800 m around midday and 500-800 m by late afternoon. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible early in the morning. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southern slopes; the northern 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. Low confidence (ensemble members are widely spread) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 16 to 58 mph; check again nearer the time. 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.
