Forecast Snow Stability: The old moist snowpack will refreeze overnight. New weakly bonded windslab will form and begin to gain depth on steep North to East aspects above 900m. Weak cornice development anticipated above steepest lee slopes of the same aspects. Good stability in all other locations. The avalanche hazard will be Moderate.

Forecast Weather Influences: Wet and mild overnight then cooler from midnight with persistent showers of snow above 900m, later 800m. Very strong South-West, later West-South-West winds.
