Glencoe

Forecast Snow Stability: The remaining snowpack will slowly begin to refreeze at all elevations becoming firmer with a crust especially at higher elevations. Stability will be good. Largest continuous areas of snow will be on mainly North to East aspects above 900 metres. During the afternoon, fresh and wind blown snow will initially form on most aspects above 700 metres quickly becoming wetter as temperatures rise. Stability is not expected to be significantly impacted. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Forecast Weather Influences: Mainly dry with moderate to fresh winds from West or South-Westerly directions. The freezing level around 700 metres. During the afternoon there will be a period of wet snow and rain at increasingly higher elevations as the freezing level rises above the summits. Southerly winds increasing strong or very strong. Observed Weather Influences: A dry and cloudy morning becoming brighter with sunshine during the afternoon. Moderate to fresh Westerly winds with the freezing level around the highest summits. ObservedSnowStability: The remaining snowpack continues to thaw and consolidate at all elevations with generally good stability. On some steeper slopes small shallow wet snow surface instabilities were present. Largest continuous areas of snow remain on mainly North to East aspects above 900 metres, increasingly patchy below this. Small cornices remain on some of these aspects also. The avalanche hazard is Low.
