Increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.

During the day: As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of moist slab avalanches being released will increase significantly. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep sunny slopes below approximately 2800 m, as well as on very steep west facing slopes below approximately 2600 m. Avalanches can in some cases release the wet snowpack. Mostly the avalanches are medium-sized. Gliding avalanches can also occur, in particular on grassy slopes below approximately 2400 m. Early morning: Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases by individual winter sport participants. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m and on very steep west and east facing slopes above approximately 2600 m. As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of slab avalanches being released will increase appreciably.

The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will soften earlier than the day before. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack over a wide area in all aspects below approximately 2800 m. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack especially on little used west, north and east facing slopes. This applies on shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations at intermediate altitudes. Below the tree line a little snow is lying.

Decrease in danger of wet avalanches as the temperature drops.
