The greatest snow patches will be mainly on steep North to East aspects above 950 metres, primarily around coire rims. Residual cornices will remain in some locations of the same aspect. Any new snow is not expected to be significant, will lie mostly on bare ground and be confined to the highest summits. The avalanche hazard will be Low.
