Monregalese Valleys

As a consequence of warming, the likelihood of moist and wet avalanches being released will increase gradually.

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night was quite good. As a consequence of highly fluctuating temperatures a crust formed on the surface during the last few days. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise from early morning to rapid moistening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes below approximately 2700 m.

Until Monday the weather will be very warm. As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be a gradual increase in the danger of moist and wet avalanches.

As a consequence of warming, the likelihood of moist and wet avalanches being released will increase gradually.

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation more frequent medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large moist and wet avalanches are possible below approximately 2700 m. This applies in particular on very steep sunny slopes, as well as at the base of rock walls. In some places avalanches can release deeper layers of the snowpack. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack on little used northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. These can as before be released by large loads and reach large size in isolated cases. The current avalanche situation calls for careful route selection, especially below steep, high-altitude, sunny starting zones that have retained the snow thus far.
