Forecast Snow Stability: Poor stability on very steep North to South East aspects above 950m during the morning, and again very late in the period with the onset much milder weather and rain at all levels. All recently formed cornices will be weak and prone to sudden collapse. Better stability on less steep ground, lower altitudes and all wind exposed locations. The avalanche hazard will be Considerable

Forecast Weather Influences: Persistent snow showers throughout the period turning to rain at all levels late in the day. Cold overnight but temperatures progressively easing during the morning then much milder later. Strong West South West later South West winds. Observed Weather Influences: Cold overnight with snow showers. Milder for a time during the morning with rain at most levels. Cooler later with further snow showers. Strong South West later West South West winds. ObservedSnowStability: Period of poor stability in the morning with cornice triggered avalanche activity on a steep East South Easterly aspect at 1000m. Some early consolidation in all snow later in the morning followed by persistent drifting and new windslab development on steep North to South East aspects above 950m. Weak new cornices building over lee slopes. Better stability in all locations below 850m. The avalanche hazard is Considerable
