There are unstable accumulations mainly on N through to SE facing slopes and in all sheltered slopes and gullies above 800m. Avalanche Risk Category 3 (Medium). Avalanche debris noted Coire Gabhail and Coire Nan Lochan. AVALANCHE RISK OUTLOOK FOR THU 24/3/94 Moderate rainfall overnight at all levels turning to heavy snow above 800m during course of day with storm force WNW winds. Unstable windslab will form mainly on NE through to SE slopes and sheltered gullies above 800m. Avalanche Risk Category 3 (Medium). Avalanches are likely where deposit of new snow are greatest. SUMMARY. Windslab will form mainly on NE to SE slopes and in sheltered gullies above 800m. Avalanche Risk 3 (Medium). Avalanches are likely.

Some thin accumulations of new, wet snow noted above 900m on some NE to E facing slopes and gullies. Category 2 (Low) risk of avalanche. AVALANCHE RISK OUTLOOK FOR THU 24/3/94 Sleety snowfall is forecast overnight followed by colder temperatures and frequent snow showers on v.strong WNW winds. This is expected to lead to the build up of marginally stable windslab on NE to SE facing slopes and gullies where avalanches are likely by the end of the period. Category 3 (Medium) risk of avalanche. SUMMARY. Category 3 (Medium) risk of avalanche on NE to SE facing slopes and gullies where avalanches are likely later.
