northern cairngorms
avalanche risk at 1500 on wed 5/1/94
strong se winds accompanied by snow showers has created areas of
unstable slab on slopes of a northerly aspect, particulary on
sheltered nw slopes. the avalanche risk is category 4 (high
localised).

avalanche risk outlook for thu 6/1/94
a forecast of moderate falls of snow accompanied by strong se winds
veering n will lead to further accumulations of unstable slab on
northerly slopes. avalanches are likely. with the change in wind
direction overnight patches of unstable slab may occur on slopes of a
southerly aspect, giving a category 4 (high localised) risk of
avalanche, decreasing later .

summary.
category 4 (high localised), risk of avalanche on slopes of a
northerly aspect, decreasing later.

avalanche risk at 1500 on wed 5/1/94
there are areas of fresh windslab and soft unstable snow on slopes
and gullies mainly of a n-nw aspect above 700m. avalanche risk
category 4 (high). cornices forming above n-nw slopes

avalanche risk outlook for thu 6/1/94
fresh ne winds and moderate snowfall overnight will deposit unstable
windslab on slopes and gullies of a w-sw aspect.existing areas of
unstable snow will remain unchanged. avalanche risk category 4
(high). avalanches will occur in areas of greatest accumulation.

summary.
avalanche risk category will remain 4 (high). highest risk on w to sw
facing slopes.

avalanche risk at 1500 on wed 5/1/94
strong southerly winds have deposited unstable windslab mainly on n
facing slopes. the avalanche risk is category 4 (high).

avalanche risk outlook for thu 6/1/94
strong winds becoming northerly overnight, with moderate snow falls.
the majority of the snow will load s facing slopes, where avalanches
will occur. pockets of unstable snow will remain on n facing slopes
and other sheltered areas. the avalanche risk is expected to remain
at category 4 (high).

summary.
continued snow and strong winds will load s facing slopes. risk
remaining at category 4 (high).
