The freezing level remains above the summits throughout. Observed Weather Influences: A wet morning with light rain falling as snow above 600 metres. Dryer during the afternoon with the freezing level rising above the summits. Winds were moderate to fresh from the South. ObservedSnowStability: There were fresh accumulations of snow above 600 metres, though generally amounts were not significant.

The old snowpack has generally remained firm and is stable. The avalanche hazard is Low.
