Nock Mountains

Generally low avalanche danger but small naturally triggered wet-snow/glide-snow avalanches possible

The snowpack is compact and thoroughly wet up to 2000 m, on sunny slopes up to 2600 m, wet down to the ground. Moistened snowpack forfeits its firmness. A melt-freeze crust forms under nighttime skies, but is not utterly capable of bearing loads. Latent danger of glide-snow avalanches on steep slopes on smooth ground. Beneath 1300 m there is hardly any snow on the ground.

On Tuesday frequent sunshine, local fogbanks can reduce visibility. Cirrus clouds will pass through, hamper the sunshine somewhat. Brisk to strong westerly winds. At 1500 m: 0-8 degrees; at 2000 m: 2-5 degrees.

The gliding snow problem will persist. Mild temperatures and lots of sunshine will make the snowpack wetter. Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.

Generally low avalanche danger but small naturally triggered wet-snow/glide-snow avalanches possible

Avalanche danger is generally low. Latent danger of glide-snow avalanches persists on steep grass-covered slopes, possible at any time of day or night, medium releases possible, on sunny slopes up to 2600 m. Avoid zones below glide cracks. Danger of wet loose-snow slides on sunny rough and rocky slopes will increase as the day progresses.
