Favorable situation
Avalanche danger is low. Naturally triggered small wet loose-snow avalanches can be expected on very steep sunny slopes. Avalanche activity will increase as the day progresses. Small slab avalanches can trigger near ridgelines on NW/N/E facing slopes in steep terrain only in few spots. Danger zones occur esp. behind discontinuties and in very steep gullies.
A thin melt-freeze crust can form at night, quickly soften during the day. The fresh snow from the beginning of the week has settled, generally well bonded with the old snowpack surface. The old snowpack is compact, thoroughly wet except on shady slopes above 2000 m (still reserves of cold).
On Thursday, pleasant weather conditions, extended sunshine, the clouds passing through will be above summit level, visibility could be diffuse, it will remain dry. the W/NW winds will be light-to-moderate. At 2000 m: +4 degrees.
Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
