Forecast Snow Stability: Any remaining fresh snow will continue to slowly thaw leaving behind the old existing snowpack. This will gradually soften during the day, but will be stable and well bonded throughout. Greatest accumulations will be found on North to East aspects above 750 metres especially around coire rims, gully tops and high inland coires. The avalanche hazard will be Low.
