As the weather cools, the danger of avalanches will be very low

The old snow cover is mostly well transformed, cohesive and stable. The danger of wet snow avalanches has been reduced. There is a possibility of some gliding avalanches.

If the weather clears, the snowpack will freeze more markedly at night. During the day, the snow will become slightly lighter in the mid-mountains and on the sunny slopes of the high alpine regions. The zero isotherm will be around 1600 m above altitudes.

In recent days, 5 to 10 cm of New fallen snow has fallen above about 2000 m. Precipitation has been patchy with showers.

Even in the high alpine regions, showers have been quite heavy.

The layers of snow in the old snow cover are mostly well cohesive. Individual weak layers of faceted snow crystals and abrasive grains occur more or less deep below the surface, and are more frequent on arable slopes above 1800 m.

Thursday will be mostly clear. A weak to moderate northerly breeze will blow, becoming more pronounced in the high alpine regions. It will be much warmer during the day. Mid-day temperatures will be around 8 °C at 1500 m and 0 °C at 2500 m. The air will be very dry. The snowpack will be hard and frosty in the morning. It will become a little bit heavier again during the day. Avalanches of packed snow will be possible, especially in the high alpine regions where there is still some unprocessed snow.
