Forecast Snow Stability: Fresh windslab will be deposited in wind sheltered locations, mainly on North to East aspects above 900 metres. Much of this will fall on bare ground. Where accumulations gain depth or overlie old refrozen snow they will be unstable. Cornices will build above these aspects. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Showers, some heavy, are expected throughout the period, falling as snow above around 750 metres. The freezing level will be around 850 metres.
