05.02 for CM. Wet snow instabilities on N through E to SE aspects above 900m. Risk of cornice collapse. Avalanche hazard Low.

05.02 for CM. Wet snow instabilities on N through E to SE aspects above 900m. Risk of cornice collapse. Avalanche hazard Low.

Forecast Snow Stability: The remaining snowpack will continue to consolidate and be generally stable. However, wet snow instabilities may remain and further develop on North through East to South-East aspects above 900 metres within the newer snow. Elsewhere and at lower elevations, the moist snowpack will gradually diminish. Risk of cornice collapse. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Forecast Weather Influences: Gale force West-South-West winds. Heavy and continuous rain, falling as sleety snow only on the highest tops. The freezing level will be above the summits. Observed Weather Influences: Fresh Westerly winds. Continuous rain, falling as sleety snow on the highest tops. The freezing level rose to summit level by late morning. ObservedSnowStability: During the morning, moderately bonded windslab was present on North through East to South-East aspects above 1000 metres. Areas most affected are steep corrie headwalls and gully tops. From late morning, as the freezing level rose, wet snow instabilities developed on these same aspects within the new snow. Risk of cornice collapse. The avalanche hazard is Moderate.
