Forecast Snow Stability: Above 750m on Northerly through East to Southerly aspects deep accumulations of unstable windslab will become more widespread with gully tops, coire rims and head walls most affected. Cornices above same aspects will be prone to collapse. Soft deep and unconsolidated snow lies on most aspects below 750m but this will be generally well bonded and stable. The avalanche hazard will be Considerable

Forecast Weather Influences: Winds will be strong North-North-Westerly overnight easing and becoming light North-Westerly during the afternoon. Persistent snowfall overnight is expected to die out during the daylight hours. Freezing level around 300m. Observed Weather Influences: A day of poor visibility. Light precipitation falling as snow during the morning becoming persistent and heavy during the afternoon and lying to glen levels. Winds moderate strength Westerly. ObservedSnowStability: Soft deep and unconsolidated snow lies on most aspects below 750m and is generally well bonded and stable due to milder morning temperatures. Above this level on Northerly through East to Southerly aspects deep accumulations of windslab have progressively become more widespread with gully tops, coire rims and head walls most affected. Cornices are soft and weak. The avalanche hazard is Considerable
