Forecast Snow Stability: New snow and wind transport of existing soft snow will form localised accumulations of windslab in wind sheltered areas. Summit gullies and steep corrie headwalls particularly where old snow underlies will be most affected, these areas should generally be avoidable. Fragile cornices may form in similar locations. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Forecast Weather Influences: Dry conditions will affect the area overnight and for most of the morning. By afternoon a band of snow will affect slopes above 500 metres. Winds will be generally South-Easterly fresh to strong. The freezing level will be around 700 metres. Observed Weather Influences: Calm with showers overnight gave a light cover of soft new snow above 750 metres. The freezing level is around 800 metres. ObservedSnowStability: A light cover of new soft snow is lying above 750 metres, Isolated shallow surface instabilities exist where old snow patches remain mainly in sheltered gullies with a Northerly to Easterly aspect above 900 metres. No significant avalanche hazard exists.
