Forecast Snow Stability: Fresh poorly bonded windslab will be present and will continue to build overnight in steep wind sheltered locations on North-East through East to Southerly aspects above mostly 800 metres. Coire rims, ridge flanks and gully tops and convex terrain especially affected. Elsewhere a blanket of snow will cover all aspects above glen level with deeper drifts in lee hollows and burn lines above 500m or so. The avalanche hazard will be Moderate.
