Forecast Snow Stability: The existing snowpack will become wet, thawing at all levels initially, but will refreeze in the afternoon and remain stable throughout. Later, isolated pockets of windslab will build in steep wind sheltered terrain, North-East to South-East aspects, above 750 metres and will generally be avoidable. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Forecast Weather Influences: Persistent rain at all levels overnight and through the morning will turn to wintry showers in the afternoon as the freezing level lowers to around 650 metres. The fresh South-West wind will gradually strengthen, becoming a strong to gale force Westerly through the day.
