CM 18/12. Low hazard. Limited new thin windslab on NE to SE aspects above 950m

Forecast Snow Stability: What remains of the wet patchy snowpack will refreeze at all elevations then become firm and well bonded by midday. Pockets of thin windslab may form later in the afternoon on some steep North East through East to South East aspects above 950m. Any new accumulations expected to be very limited in extent and well bonded especially those that form over bare ground. The avalanche hazard will be Low

Forecast Weather Influences: Mild and wet at all elevations overnight. Noticeable cooler weather from dawn onwards with a few snow showers on strong, later moderate, Westerly winds. Observed Weather Influences: Mild throughout with light persistent rain. ObservedSnowStability: The snowpack is sparse and confined to a few coire rims and favoured gullies mainly on East South East to South East aspects. What snow remains is isothermal, moist and generally well stabilised. The avalanche hazard is Low
