Small wet avalanches where snow is sufficient

Small wet avalanches where snow is sufficient

Avalanche danger is LOW. On extremely steep (>35°) sunny slopes, isolated small wet loose-snow avalanches are possible. In addition, on steep grassy slopes isolated naturally triggered glide-snow avalanches are possible.

The snowpack is moist in all aspects, thoroughly wet down to the groundon sunny slopes. On Tuesday night, skies will be heavily overcast, no outgoing radiation will be possible. Solar radiation and daytime temperatures will further weaken the snowpack. Below the treeline there is little snow on the ground.

On Saturday there will be April weather at the end of March: variable, some sunshine, convective clouds, a few raindrops and snow showers, good visibility at times. At 2000 m: -1 degree at midday; at 3000: -9 degrees. Strong W/NW winds, reaching 70 km/hr in the afternoon at high altitudes.

On the weekend: wet-snow problem. Starting on Monday: wintery conditions for a brief spell.
