As a consequence of warming during the day there will be an increase in the danger of moist avalanches within the current danger level.

As a consequence of warming during the day there will be an increase in the danger of moist avalanches within the current danger level.

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation individual moist snow slides and avalanches are possible. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on extremely steep sunny slopes. Avalanches can be released in the weakly bonded old snow on extremely steep shady slopes. This applies in particular in case of a large load. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. Even a small snow slide can sweep snow sport participants along and give rise to falls.

The backcountry touring conditions are generally favourable. The surface of the snowpack will soften during the day. Faceted weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on steep north facing slopes.

The avalanche danger will persist.
