NORTHERN CAIRNGORMS
AVALANCHE RISK AT 1500 ON TUE 25/1/94
A freeze-thaw has resulted in a very stable snowpack. Avalanche risk
Category 2 (Low). Recent heavy snow showers accompanied by strong W
winds are increasing the avalanche risk this P.M. on sheltered NE and
E facing slopes.

AVALANCHE RISK OUTLOOK FOR WED 26/1/94
The strong to gale force W winds are forecast to continue,
accompanied by heavy snow showers. This will result in a build up of
isolated areas of unstable slab on sheltered NE through to SE facing
slopes. The avalanche risk will be Category 3 (Medium Localised).

SUMMARY.
Isolated pockets of unstable slab on sheltered NE through to SE
facing slopes. Avalanche risk Category 3 (Medium Localised).


GLENCOE
AVALANCHE RISK AT 1500 ON TUE 25/1/94
Fresh accumulations of unstable windslab have formed on many slopes
and gullies above 700m, greatest accumulations on slopes and
gullies of a N through to E aspect. Avalanche Risk Category 3
(Medium). Unstable cornices forming above N to E slopes.

AVALANCHE RISK OUTLOOK FOR WED 26/1/94
Strong Westerly winds gusting up to 70 mph on tops and moderate
snowfall overnight will give further deposits of unstable windslab
mainly on slopes and gullies of a N through to SE aspect above 700m
Avalanches are likely  where windslab exists. Avalanche Risk Category
3 (Medium).

SUMMARY.
Strong winds and moderate snowfall will deposit unstable windslab on
N to SE slopes above 700m. Avalanche Risk will remain 3 (Medium).


LOCHABER
AVALANCHE RISK AT 1500 ON TUE 25/1/94
A thaw overnight has consolidated the existing snowpack. Fresh
snowfall this morning has produced areas of windslab, however these
are confined to sheltered locations. The avalanche risk is Category 3
(Medium Localised).

AVALANCHE RISK OUTLOOK FOR WED 26/1/94
Strong W to NW winds and moderate amounts of snow will load unstable
slab on slopes mainly with a E to SE aspect, where avalanches are
likely. A increase in temperature later will make wet snow avalanches
likely below 1000m. The avalanche risk is expected to be Category 3
(Medium).

SUMMARY.
Unstable snow forming on most easterly aspects where avalanches are
likely. Category 3 (Medium)
