Forecast Snow Stability: Little change is expected to the snowpack which will be firm and stable throughout. Any new snow will be largely insignificant. Greatest snow cover will be in the mountain areas inland from the coastal ranges, with most accumulations on Northerly to Easterly aspects above 700 metres, particularly in gullies, coire back walls and below coire rims. Coastal ranges mostly bare with only snow remnants on same aspects. The avalanche hazard will be Low.
