Cloud-free timing: Around 25% early, improving to around 83% later.

A mixed day on Calf Top: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph early in the morning (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 500-800 m in the morning, lifting to 1000-1300 m around midday and 1500-1800 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from around midday into the evening. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on western slopes; the eastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected.

A fine day on Calf Top: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the afternoon (fresh and blowy). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 500-800 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (ensemble members show a moderate spread) - the summit peak could reasonably be 18-25 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range. 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.
