Isolated small loose-snow avalanches

Isolated small loose-snow avalanches

Avalanche danger is low. Isolatedn small loose-snow naturally triggered avalanches are possible or can be triggered by one sole skier. Danger zones for small slab avalanches in the snowdrifts occur selcomd on very steep N/E facing slopes at high altitudes. On steep grass-covered slopes, isolated small glide-snow avalanches are possible.

Atop a shallow, generally stable snowpack (as long as there is snow on the ground), which at intermediate altitudes is already 0 degrees isotherem and on sunny slopes at high altitudes has melt-freeze forms, about 5-15 cm of fresh snow will fall, without much wind impact.

During the nighttime hours, dense clouds and (as of midnight) increasing precipitation from the south, snowfall level at 1300m, 5-10cm of fresh snow anticipated. Up to 1600m rainfall is possible, hardly any wind. On Thursday, dry weather, sunshine will increase as the day unfolds. Brisk southerly winds, strengthening during the course of the day (afternoon: 70-80 km/hr in high-alpine terrain), later on westerly winds will intensify in the Northern Alps. At 2000m: -2 degrees.

Initially no change. On Friday, more fresh snowfall, then slightly increasing danger.
