Mountain area forecasts |

|
Mountains can be inhospitable and dangerous places for the
ill prepared. From one hour to the next, from one hill to the
next, they can exhibit a dramatic variation in weather conditions.
Whether it's a well-planned expedition or a spur of the moment
decision to go to the hills, it is important to check the forecast.
