Forecast Snow Stability: The existing old moist snowpack will consolidate. New snow amounts are not expected to be significant mainly a light dusting, lying mostly on bare ground. Stability will generally remain good in most locations. Localised areas of shallow windslab will form in wind sheltered locations, mainly around the tops of summit gullies and steep scarp slopes with a North to Easterly aspect above 900 metres. These accumulations are not expected to be deep or extensive. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Forecast Weather Influences: The freezing level will lower to around 700 metres during the morning. Showers falling as snow above 600 metres accompanied by strong to gale force South-Westerly winds. Observed Weather Influences: After a little overnight rain it was a dry morning, isolated rain showers started to fall at all levels around mid-day. The freezing level was well above the summits and winds were strong from a South-Westerly direction. ObservedSnowStability: The snowpack is moist at all elevations and has diminished a little further and is generally now quite patchy. However, stability remains generally good in most locations. Greatest snow amounts are present on North to Easterly aspects above 900 metres. The avalanche hazard is Low.
