Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Whitney Main Trail Conditions 2015 (Out-of-Date)

Anyone know how accurate the high temperatures are on the NOAA link provided in this forum? 50 degrees at 13,000' sounds too high?: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php...en#.VWSP0k9VhBc

I have an overnight permit for this Friday so I'm hoping that some of the snow melts if the high everyday between now and then is above 50 degrees but at the moment I'm leaning towards cancelling the trip, especially based on the video Steve just posted. We are a group of experienced hikers and have been up Whitney before but have no mountaineering experience.
