Forecast Snow Stability: Drifting expected to continue for a time overnight and during the morning adding to pre existing poorly bonded windslab deposits mainly on North East through East to South East aspects above 900m. Newly formed weak cornices will overhang many steeper recent lee slopes. Better stability at lower altitude, on less steep ground, wind scoured slopes and all ridges. The avalanche hazard will be Considerable

Forecast Weather Influences: Remaining cold overnight but temperatures will ease a little from dawn onwards. Moderate to strong North West winds backing Westerly, later South Westerly and easing. A few late snow showers are possible. Observed Weather Influences: Cold with frequent occasionally heavy snow showers. Strong Westerly later North West winds. ObservedSnowStability: Weak windslab has built quickly and become deep and more widespread on steep North East through East to South East aspects above 900m. New weak cornices are building over these places. Better stability at lower altitudes and on less steep ground. Recently wind exposed areas are scoured and stable. The avalanche hazard is Considerable
