Wet snow
- Alle Höhenlagen
Watch out for all-day wet snow problems!
Due to the predominantly lack of outgoing longwave radiation, the snow surface can hardly firmness. The snowpack is wet, or at least moist, up to high altitudes. However, weak layers may still be present in the old snowpack only at the top and on shady slopes.
Watch out for all-day wet snow problems!
The avalanche risk is predominantly moderate in altitudes where there is still a sufficiently thick snowpack. Medium wet snow avalanches are possible from steep terrain that has not yet been discharged in all aspects. Only very high up and on shady slopes could slab avalanches be triggered in very steep terrain.
On Monday, thicker clouds will continue to pass through, with occasional sunny spells. Visibility will therefore vary, but it will remain largely free of precipitation. In the high altitudes of the northern Alps, strong southerly winds will blow in places. Sahara dust will still be in the air. At 1500 metres around 10 degrees, at 2000 metres around 7 degrees. On Tuesday, dense clouds will hang over the mountains and the sun will only appear briefly. There will also be a few showers, most likely in the afternoon. The wind will shift to the west and will be mostly moderate. It will be a touch cooler, 5 degrees at 1500 metres and 3 degrees at 2000 metres.
Slight cooling, some precipitation with a snowfall level above 2000 metres and wet snow problems.
