Forecast Snow Stability: The snowpack will start to thaw at all levels as the freezing level rises above the summits. Snow cover will diminish at lower levels quite quickly. Wet snow instabilities will be present where deeper snow accumulations persist, mainly on North to East aspects above 900 metres. Tops of wind sheltered gullies, scarp slopes and steep coire rims mostly affected. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Forecast Weather Influences: Overnight, a short period of snow then some precipitation will turn to rain at most levels. The freezing level will steadily rise to be above the summits by mid morning. Drier by dawn staying dry for the rest of the day. The strong Westerly winds will ease becoming North-Westerly.
