The low level mist/cloud lingering on Gearr Aonanch and Beinn Fhada with Stob Coire Raineach in the distance left getting some brighter conditions.
Forecast: The freezing level will remain above the summits but the wet bulb freezing will slowly rise to around 1000 metres. It will mostly be dry, however, some precipitation likely in the afternoon falling as freezing rain or sleet/snow mainly above 900 metres. The South-Easterly winds will strengthen through the day backing to be East-South-Easterly.
Forecast Snow Stability and Hazard:Â New snow amounts are not expected to be significant, mainly a dusting above 900 metres. The existing old snowpack will remain well bonded, firm, and often icy which exists mainly on North to Easterly aspects above 850 metres. The avalanche hazard will be Low.
