Forecast Snow Stability: The snowpack will be wet but reasonably well bonded in most locations. Some residual wet snow instability on steep North-West through North to North-East above 1000m. Any remaining cornices over these locations will be wet, weak and prone to sudden collapse. Potential for minor full depth avalanches from the Post Face of Coire Ardair. Falling ice an objective danger in the immediate vicinity of steep crags in Coire Ardair. The avalanche hazard will be Low
Forecast Weather Influences: Slightly cooler and drier overnight then very wet and mild. Observed Weather Influences: Very wet and very mild. ObservedSnowStability: Poor stability for a time on steep North West through North to North East aspects above 1000m. Recent debris from a size 1 wet slab avalanche noted below North North East aspect in the Inner Coire of Coire Ardair. Elsewhere and at lower altitudes the snowpack is wet but well bonded. Wet cornices still in situ at the time of reporting. The avalanche hazard is Moderate
