- All elevations
Forecast Snow Stability: A covering of fresh, generally stable snow will develop on top of bare ground at most elevations. Isolated windslab deposits will develop mainly on East to South aspects above around 800 metres, gully tops and coire rims will be most affected. These deposits will overlie bare ground but could begin to gain depth, as the day progresses. The avalanche hazard will be Low.
Forecast Weather Influences: Precipitation throughout the period will turn to snow at most levels as the freezing level lowers to 200 metres. Gale force North-Westerly winds. Observed Weather Influences: Rain at all levels with very strong Westerly winds. The freezing level was around the highest summits. ObservedSnowStability: Only patches remain with largest patches on North-East aspects on the highest summits in the Northen Fannichs. There is insufficient snow to warrant issuing an avalanche hazard category.
