Completely dry. Night temps were cold but not super freezing with wind chill in some areas (see below). We were able to stay on top of Tabeguache for 15+ minutes to make some hot food at 11pm, wearing a good set of base layers plus shells plus micropuff jackets & hoods. We were not wearing windproof pants.
Started route at 16:30 for a night decent. Was excellent weather the entire day, so we had a mild weather ascent - most windblown was halfway up to the (first) Mt. Shavano peak until reaching the peak. The saddle and Tabeguache Peak were pretty calm conditions. Descending, lack of wind and increasing temps had us comfortably wearing base layers plus shell while moving.
