Chance of Cloud-Free Hill Top
70%, note temperature inversion.
Visibility
Occasional or extensive low cloud possible, but details uncertain. Bases could be 300m or less at times, particularly early in the day, but should tend to lift and break. The temperature inversion around 700m should see the higher summit remain mostly cloud free. Visibility moderate to very poor in cloud, otherwise good or very good.
Summary
Variable, perhaps extensive cloud overnight and during the day. Any clear skies will allow fog to form in the valleys which will be slow to clear during the morning. Bright and sunny spells should develop as any thicker cloud lifts and breaks and a temperature inversion around 700m could see the higher summits remain cloud free throughout.
Mountain Hazards
