Confidence
High for largely settled conditions Friday and Saturday and again next week, but lower through Sunday due to uncertainties over the arrival and clearance of a slow moving but weakening front edging southeast across the area and for cloud amounts next week.

Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
A fine autumnal day to be in the park once any fog clears.
Weather
A mainly clear start across the hills with valley mist and fog, this will lift and clear slowly through the morning to leave a fine day on the hills with some long sunny spells. Dry with long clear spells in the evening, mist and fog likely to reform in the east.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
>95%
Low cloud and visibility
Risk of some thin cloud rising over the lower slopes as low level mist and fog lifts, otherwise little or no cloud below the summits. Away from cloud, visibility very good, but poor in any low level mist and fog patches.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
Mountain weather information
Weather
Clear spells overnight with low level mist and fog developing quite widely. The valley mist and fog may linger through much of the day, but generally a fine day on the hills with long sunny spells.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
Close to 100% through much of the day.
Maximum wind speed expected
Southerly or southeasterly 10mph or less veering more south-westerly later in the day.
Temperature
- At 600m Around 7 or 8 Celsius
- Valley Around 2 or 3 Celsius at dawn, rising to plus 13 or 14 by day where fog clears
- Freezing level Above the summits
Low cloud and visibility
Low cloud, tops of cloud around 300-450m, may persist in eastern areas through the day but the hills themselves should be largely cloud free. Away from cloud, visibility very good, but poor in low level mist and fog patches.

No recent ground conditions report available.
