A mixed day on Little Fell: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph early in the morning (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base 400-1100 m - the top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from late afternoon into the evening. The cloud base is very changeable today - it could sit much higher or lower than that at times, so read the sky. Cloud will be lowest on the NW slopes, down to about 500-800 m; the SE side should be clearer, lifting to around 700-1000 m. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. 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.
