NORTHERN CAIRNGORMS AVALANCHE RISK AT 1500 ON FRI 11/3/94 A melt-freeze cycle has stablised the existing snowpack. On high E and NE slopes isolated pockets of unstable windslab exist, giving rise to a Category 3 (Medium Localised) risk of avalanche. AVALANCHE RISK OUTLOOK FOR SAT 12/3/94 Moderate-high snowfall overnight and strong W winds, easing slightly, with further moderate snowfall will result in additional accumulation of windslab on E to NE slopes and gullies. Avalanches will occur where significant deposits exist in these areas. Avalanche Risk category 4 (High). SUMMARY. Strong W winds and new snowfall will give Category 4 (High) avalanche risk. Avalanches will occur on E and NE facing slopes. LOCHABER AVALANCHE RISK AT 1500 ON FRI 11/3/94 Large areas of unstable snow are present mainly on NE aspects. Local wind effects have formed unstable areas in sheltered locations and gullies. The avalanche risk is Category 4 (High). AVALANCHE RISK OUTLOOK FOR SAT 12/3/94 Overnight heavy snow and strong westerly winds will further load unstable windslab on to easterly aspects and sheltered locations, where avalanches will occur. The avalanche risk will be Category 4 (High). SUMMARY. Avalanches will occur on easterly aspects due to continued heavy snow and strong westerly winds forming unstable windslab. Category 4 (High) GLENCOE AVALANCHE RISK AT 1500 ON FRI 11/3/94 There are moderate accumulations of fresh windslab lying in N facing corries, mainly on N through to E facing slopes above 800m. Avalanche Risk Category 3 (Medium). Large unstable cornices have formed above N through to E facing slopes. AVALANCHE RISK OUTLOOK FOR SAT 12/3/94 Heavy snowfall with storm force W winds, backing SW severe gale force, will deposit further accumulations of windslab on N through to E facing slopes above 800m giving Avalanche Risk Category 4 (High). Avalanches will occur in these areas. SUMMARY. Avalanches will occur due to further accumulation of windslab on N to E facing slopes above 800m. Avalanche Risk Category 4 (High). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
