avalanche risk at 1500 on thu 13/1/94
there are large accumulations of very unstable fresh snow in gullies
and slopes mainly of a w through to ne aspect above 700m. unstable
cornices have also formed above these slopes. avalanche risk category
4 (high). avalanche activity observed.

avalanche risk outlook for fri 14/1/94
strong w-nw winds and moderate snowfall will continue to deposit snow
in gullies and on slopes of all aspects above 700m.existing unstable
areas of snow will remain unchanged. avalanches will occur in areas
of greatest accumulation. avalanche risk category 4 (high)

summary.
avalanche risk will remain 4 (high) with large deposits of unstable
new snow in many gullies and on slopes mainly of a w, n and e aspect.


lochaber
avalanche risk at 1500 on thu 13/1/94
a stormy sw airstream has deposited fresh wet snow above 600m. heavy
drifting has loaded n and ne facing slopes with unstable slab. the
avalanche risk is category 4 (high).

avalanche risk outlook for fri 14/1/94
a colder nw airflow and moderate snowfall will load ne to se facing
slopes with unstable windslab, where avalanches will occur. the
avalanche risk is expected to remain at category 4 (high).

summary.
fresh snow and strong winds will load ne to se facing slopes, where
avalanches will occur. risk remaining at category 4 (high).

northern cairngorms
avalanche risk at 1500 on thu 13/1/94
strong, local corrie winds have scoured significant areas of the
approach slopes of most n facing gullies but pockets of suspect
windslab remain in high sheltered areas. cornice development noted on
rim of n.corries. category 4 (high localised) risk of avalanche.

avalanche risk outlook for fri 14/1/94
a forecast of light or moderate snow showers and moderate to fresh w
or nw winds over the period is expected to lead to the build up of
marginally stable windslab on e through to se facing slopes and
gullies where avalanches are likely. category 3 (medium) risk of
avalanche.

summary.
w to nw winds and snow showers will give a category 3 (medium)
avalanche risk on e to se slopes where avalanches are likely.
