Wet snow
- Above 950 m
Forecast Snow Stability: Mild conditions with rain will further reduce the snow cover. Generally the snowpack will be soft and moist with reasonable stability. Wet snow instabilities will persist above 950 metres in sheltered gullies and on slopes with a North-West through North to Easterly aspect. Gully exits and corrie rims will be most affected. Unstable cornices may also exist in these areas. The avalanche hazard will be Low.
Forecast Weather Influences: It will remain mild with persistent rain at all levels. Winds will be generally Southerly strong overnight, becoming fresh, occasionally strong through the day. The freezing level will remain above the summits. Observed Weather Influences: Mild conditions with rain at all levels have affected the area. Winds have been fresh occasionally strong generally South-Westerly. The freezing level is well above the summits. ObservedSnowStability: The snowpack continues to thaw and diminish particularly at lower levels. The remaining snow is soft wet and is generally stable on all but the steepest slopes where wet snow instabilities exist, most affected areas are sheltered gullies and Northwesterly through North to Easterly slopes mainly above 950 metres. The avalanche hazard is Low.
