Torridon

Forecast Snow Stability: Weaknesses will persist in the recently deposited windslab, greatest accumulations of which lie on North-East through East and South to South-West aspects above 700 metres. Some new unstable windslab will be deposited in wind sheltered areas, mainly on North-West to North-East aspects above 800 metres. Fragile cornices will remain, especially over East through South to South-West aspects. The avalanche hazard will be Considerable.

Forecast Weather Influences: Winds will be fresh generally Southerly. After a dry evening light precipitation is expected throughout the rest of the period, falling as snow above around 300 metres. The freezing level will rise to be 400 to 500 metres during the day. Observed Weather Influences: After overnight and morning showers, falling as snow above around 200 metres, the afternoon was mainly dry. Winds were gale force North-North-Westerly overnight and through the morning, moderate during the afternoon. The freezing level was around 400 metres. ObservedSnowStability: New unstable windslab has been deposited in wind sheltered areas, mainly on East through South to South-West aspects above 700 metres. This lies on top of recently deposited windslab in which weaknesses persist. Instabilities remain in recently deposited windslab on other aspects, especially North and North-East, and at lower elevations. The avalanche hazard is Considerable.
