A largely cloudy day with hill fog shrouding the summits early and late. There is a chance of some brighter spells across the park through the middle of the day. Some outbreaks of rain through the early hours, then more persistent rain arriving through the evening, turning heavy for a time.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
30% early and late, 80% through the middle of the day.
Low cloud and visibility
Cloud down to 400-500m on western-facing slopes, but dropping to 300m at times early and late. Good visibility outside of cloud and rain for much of the day, but otherwise poor or very poor in cloud and rain early and late.
