Bulletin issued on Thursday January 27, 2011 at 19:00
General situation and trends: Stormy over the country. Rain and snow these days When cold air we have on the Peninsula is compounded by the arrival of a storm coming up from the south which will turn on us the next day. So for now moist air comes from the south, a bit warmer, but collided with the cold air prevails in Aragon, we are going to snow in the center of Aragon (and Zaragoza) for the morning on Friday and Saturday. With progress in both days, the snow level will go up and as rain below 800-1000m in the center of Aragon. In the Pyrenees it is expected a good snow (elevation 800m) for the evening of Friday, after on Saturday from South spoiled before noon with another snowfall somewhat weaker (later in French).
Between Saturday and Sunday, the storm will drift towards the Mediterranean, rolando on Sunday the flow from south to north (North East) and changing tables, wiping the skies in Aragon and covering the French Pyrenees and the border. So, perhaps Sunday covered in the Pyrenees and sunny in the Ebro Valley Follow the cold environment these days, dimensions of 400m x snow in the morning and up to 800-1000m at noon. Abrigarses. Eye roads. Environment troubled, uncertain and poor reliability prediction.
NOTE: stormy This "revolving" on the country, tends to behave not unlike a cold drop, whose behavior is very predictable. This is why forecasts written here have for this weekend very poor reliability. Cójanse with many reservations. Sorry.

current Innivation : To this day he remains in deficit for the end of January, with snow beginning to be continuous between 1.700 and 1.900m in the northern slopes with a thickness of only 20cm to 1.900my up to 50-80cm to 2.100m Above the thickness is 2,400 meters above, with higher accumulations in shady and concave, where snow is stored more easily. The snow is hard on both sides, softened in the sun on the southern slopes. Snowfall expected for these next few hours in very low levels will change finally snowy landscape of our Pyrenees.
recent snowfall: snow There have been no interest in the last 10 days
snowy mantle Stability: Manto stable. Snowy Friday in front and plaque formation in North slopes
The mantle is generally stabilized after 10 days with little rain and cold temperatures. However, on Friday afternoon and evening x expect a new 20cm of snow will fall to the bottom of the valleys and winds coming from south and southeast. These guidelines snow will form plaques in the north and NW, facing the Saturday and Sunday will come out with overloads weak.
another arrives Saturday nevada south at noon, somewhat weaker and less wind. On Sunday it seems that the English side will be less loaded, but can also fall on the border 5cm. So, the picture will change significantly. There are these snow with high winds, but it will increase the risk of avalanches to Moderate (2) in the French Pyrenees and perhaps Considerable (3) in the Aragonese Pyrenees, on Saturday and Sunday.
The most dangerous slopes on Saturday and Sunday will be the north, stretching from NW to NE (including W), which are the largest formation of plaques should be sustained. The southern slopes are less prone to plaque formation, but it is difficult to ensure their safety, leaving these slopes at moderate risk (2).
These snow fall on hard snow at altitudes above 1,800-2.000mm, whose frozen surface can act as a slip plane, mainly in the northern slopes. At lower levels it will snow on the ground, solidifying much less the new thickness.
During snowfall may also cause snow avalanches naturally, although small or medium size. Avalanches are not expected merger, unless there are clear hot sun on Sunday that time the southern slopes, causing some small lava flows. Trend
later: the moment can not estimate a risk beyond Sunday to see the amounts of snow received. Without changes, including 3 in the north and 2 in the south.
