Forecast Snow Stability: The moist but stable snowpack that exists in localised places, mainly on South-West through West to Northerly aspects above 800 metres will gradually become more firm during the day. Greatest amounts lying in gullies, coire rims and ridge flanks. New accumulations of fresh snow will be mostly a thin dusting and of no consequence. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Forecast Weather Influences: Winds will be fresh to strong South-Westerly overnight becoming Westerly during the day. Freezing levels will remain around 1000 metres overnight gradually lowering to 800 metres by the end of the day. Precipitation will be light showers falling as sleet or snow at summits at first, then providing a light dusting of snow above 800 metres during the day. Observed Weather Influences: Freezing level remained around 1000 metres with precipitation falling as rain to summits. Winds fresh to strong Southerly. ObservedSnowStability: Snow loss at lower elevations but deeper isolated accumulations of moist but stable snow remain above 800 metres. Greatest amounts on South-West through West to Northerly aspects, mostly confined to gullies, coire rims and ridge flanks. The avalanche hazard is Low.
