CM for 13/04/22 Minor wet surface snow instability possible on E to S aspects. Weak cornices. Low Hazard

Forecast Snow Stability: Good general stability. Pockets of older windslab will be wet and may show minor wet surface snow instability; most affected areas will be East to South aspects above 950 metres. Residual cornices will be weak and prone to collapse. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Forecast Weather Influences: Wet overnight then dry. Mild throughout. Light to moderate North-West winds. Observed Weather Influences: Light overnight showers of sleety snow over summits, with rain at lower altitudes. Moderate South-East winds eased to light during the day. Cool summit temperatures, milder later. ObservedSnowStability: Minor accumulations of thin, moist new snow on North-West to North aspects above 1000 metres. All older windslab at lower altitudes is moist or wet but stable. The coarse-grained old snow patches are thawing slowly and remain well bonded. Weak, moist cornices above selected steep slopes. The avalanche hazard is Low.
