CM for 7.1: New windslab E to S aspects above 950m expected to be localised. Moderate Hazard.

Forecast Snow Stability: New weak thin windslab on steep East to South aspects above 950m by the end of the day. Some of this new windslab will form on bare ground or rock and expected to be confined to the very top of coire rims and gully exits but may become more extensive and deeper in the event of greater snow shower activity. Good stability in all other locations and altitudes. The avalanche hazard will be Moderate.
