Forecast Snow Stability: The snowpack will consolidate further, remaining soft and wet but generally stable. Some localised surface wet snow instabilities may still exist on steeper slopes. Most affected areas will be above 900 metres in steep wind sheltered places, such as coire rims, gully tops and scarp slopes mainly with a North-West through North to East aspects. Any remaining cornices will be soft and prone to collapse. The avalanche hazard will be Low

Forecast Weather Influences: The freezing level will be above the highest summits for all of this period. Rain at all levels, heaviest in the early part of the morning, becoming drier in the afternoon, winds will be strong from a South-Westerly direction. Observed Weather Influences: It snowed above 850 metres during the morning these snow showers turned to rain in the afternoon as the freezing level rose above the highest tops, summit temperatures of plus 2 degrees Celsius by 2pm. Very strong winds started out from the East-South-East then veered to the South-West and remained strong.

ObservedSnowStability: New snow fell mainly above 850 metres these deposits are not significant and started to thaw early afternoon. The shallow snowpack has become moist as rain affected the area leading to some localised surface wet snow instabilities. Most affected locations were above 900 metres on steep wind sheltered locations, such as coire rims, gully tops and scarp slopes mainly with a North-West through North to East aspect. Any remaining cornices are prone to collapse. The avalanche hazard is Low.
