Stability: poor · Frequency: few
The avalanche danger will increase a little during the day. Fresh wind slabs require caution.
As a consequence of new snow and a strengthening wind, mostly small wind slabs will form in the afternoon above the tree line. These can be released in isolated cases. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.
10 to 30 cm of snow will fall above approximately 1000 m. Evening and first half of night: The wind will be moderate in some regions. The new snow and wind slabs will be deposited on a crust in particular on sunny slopes at high altitude.
Fresh wind slabs require caution.
