Forecast Snow Stability: The mild and wet conditions overnight will render the snowpack soft and moist at all levels, stability will be generally good but shallow surface wet snow instabilities may exist initially on the steepest slopes. Isolated fragile cornices will exist mainly above 1000 metres. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Forecast Weather Influences: Conditions will remain very mild with persistent heavy rain at all levels overnight becoming less heavy through the day. Winds will be strong to gale force South-Westerly. The freezing level will be around 2500 metres. Observed Weather Influences: Mild and windy conditions with mainly light rain have affected the area, the freezing level is well above the summits. ObservedSnowStability: Mild conditions have reduced the snow cover particularly at lower levels. Greatest accumulations of snow exist in the higher Northerly and Easterly corries and gulleys. The remaining snowpack is generally soft and moist at levels. Stability is generally good. Small cornices exist in localised areas mainly above 1000 metres on North-East and Easterly aspects. The avalanche hazard is Low.
