Low hazard. Very patchy snowpack. Slightly better cover on N to E aspects.

Forecast Snow Stability: Little change. The very patchy snowpack will refreeze overnight and remain frozen on heavily shaded locations but soften a little later where sun exposed. The snowpack is confined to steep North to East aspects above 950m with ribbons of snow at lower altitudes in selected gullies. In addition, there are a few outlying snow patches on some East-South-East aspects down to 800m. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Forecast Weather Influences: No precipitation is forecast. Cold and clear overnight then milder with the freezing level rising to just above summits by late afternoon. Light South-Easterly winds. Observed Weather Influences: Cold at all levels overnight then progressively milder. Noticeably warmer on sun exposed aspects. Dry throughout. Light South-Easterly winds. ObservedSnowStability: Good stability. Very patch cover. Main accumulations are on steep North through East to South-East aspects above 950m. Firm snow on persistently shaded aspects. Snow on sun exposed aspects softened a little later. The avalanche hazard is Low.
