We have a thaw at present with the freezing level lowering later so we can expect some refreezing of the existing wet snow pack tonight. This evening moderate showers of snow are expected with strong West to West-South-West winds so some wind slab will form on wind sheltered aspects. By the morning the freezing level rises to above summit levels, so showers will turn to rain and sleet so we have quite a complex picture forming with wet snow instabilities likely.
