Wet snow requires caution. Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.
More small to medium-sized wet avalanches are possible, in particular on very steep sunny slopes, and at the base of rock walls below approximately 2000 m. Additionally in isolated cases avalanches can also be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size. This applies even in case of a single winter sport participant in isolated cases, especially at elevated altitudes on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. In their paths avalanches can entrain the wet snow. This extends the avalanche runout distances.
On Sunday it will be mild over a wide area. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced at times. Sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will soften quickly. The weather conditions gave rise to thorough wetting of the snowpack. This applies especially on very steep sunny slopes, as well as at the base of rock walls. Shady slopes: Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes. This applies especially at elevated altitudes.
Wet snow requires caution.
