GLENCOE
AVALANCHE RISK AT 1500 ON THU 3/3/94
New moist snow has accumulated above 600m on all slopes with a N
aspect.Areas of unstable soft windslab,containing hail,exist in
gullies and sheltered hollows on SW through to NE facing slopes above
600m.Avalanche Risk Category 4 (High).

AVALANCHE RISK OUTLOOK FOR FRI 4/3/94.
Overnight new moist snow and gale force SW winds will deposit fresh
accumulations of snow on NW through to NE facing slopes above
650m.Friday,heavy thaw as the freezing level rises to above the
summits with storm force SW winds maintaining the high risk of
avalanche. Avalanches will occur on on most slopes at all
levels.Avalanche Risk Category 4 (High).

SUMMARY
Avalanches will occur on slopes of most aspects at all levels due to
heavy thaw. Avalanche Risk Category 4 (High).


NORTHERN CAIRNGORMS
AVALANCHE RISK AT 1500 ON THU 3/3/94 Areas of windslab from last
weekend`s storm on N through to NW facing slopes still show signs of
instability. Snow showers and storm force W winds are continuing the
development of unstable cornices and slab on sheltered NE through to
SE facing slopes and gullies giving a Category 4 (High) risk of
avalanche where accumulations are greatest. Very large cornice
triggered slab initiated on E facing slope over looking Strath Nethy.

AVALANCHE RISK OUTLOOK FOR FRI 4/3/94
Forecasted storm force W winds and snow turning very quickly to rain
in the morning as the FL rises from 800m to 1600m. Rapid thaw
conditions will seriously weaken recent cornice and windslab deposits
on NE to SE facing slopes as well as increase the risk of avalanche
of old slab accumulations on N to W aspects. Avalanches will occur in
all the areas mentioned above, resulting in a Category 4 (High) risk.
The likelihood of large avalanches is considerable.

SUMMARY.
A Category 4 (High) risk of avalanche exists on NW through N to E
facing slopes where avalanches will occur.


LOCHABER
AVALANCHE RISK AT 1500 ON THU 3/3/94
Large areas of unstable windslab are present on easterly aspects,
this soft slab is lying on top of a icy base. Avalanches triggered by
cornice collapse observed in eastern corries of Aonach Mor. The
avalanche risk is Category 4 (High).

AVALANCHE RISK OUTLOOK FOR FRI 4/3/94
An approaching mild SW airstream will bring rain and thawing at all
levels. Wet snow avalanches and cornice collapse will occur, with the
greatest danger on N, E and SE facing slopes. The avalanche risk will
remain at Category 4 (High).

SUMMARY.
Wet snow avalanches and cornice collapse will occur due to thaw and
rain at all levels, mainly  on N, E and SE aspects. Category 4 (High).
