Wet snow requires caution.

Wet snow requires caution.

Wet avalanches can in isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant. This applies especially below approximately 2600 m. As a consequence of new snow and a moderate wind, clearly visible wind slabs will form in particular in high Alpine regions. These are small and can only be released in isolated cases. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases and mostly by large additional loads in particular on very steep shady slopes, in particular above approximately 2500 m.

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted at times. The surface of the snowpack will freeze very little and will soften quickly. Some rain will fall in the afternoon in some regions. Shady slopes above approximately 2500 m: Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack at elevated altitudes. On steep sunny slopes as well as below approximately 1800 m hardly any snow is lying.

Up to 2600 m rain will fall in some regions. The danger of wet avalanches will already exist in the early morning.
