Forecast Snow Stability: There will be a dusting of new snow building during the day above 650 metres and mostly lying on bare ground. Deeper drifts are likely on sheltered high Easterly aspects although amounts will not be significant. Elsewhere, the limited older snowpack will be stable throughout, re-freezing at summit levels through the day. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Forecast Weather Influences: Overnight rain will turn wintry on the summits by dawn as the freezing level lowers to around 800 metres by midday with snow above 650 metres. Southerly gales overnight will gradually moderate through the day, veering Westerly. Observed Weather Influences: A generally bright day with a few isolated light rain showers in the morning. The freezing level remained above the summits. The Southerly wind noticeably strengthened by midday. ObservedSnowStability: Little change observed. The moist snow cover is slowly thawing and stable throughout, diminishing and limited in extent. Most snow that remains is patchy old snow, lingering on North to East aspects above 850 metres and largely restricted to mountains away from the coast. There are many bare slopes, ridges and summits throughout the forecast area. The avalanche hazard is Low.
