Be aware of the local wet snow problem!

The avalanche risk is predominantly low. However, in altitudes and on slopes with a sufficiently thick snowpack, local wet snow avalanches in all aspects from areas that have not yet been discharged are to be noted, some of which can reach medium size.

Due to the predominant lack of outgoing longwave radiation, the snow surface can hardly firmness. The snowpack is wet up to high altitudes in the centre, or at least moist and isothermal. Only very high up and on shady slopes can the snowpack still contain weak layers.

On Monday, thicker clouds will continue to pass through, with occasional sunny spells. Visibility will therefore vary, but it will remain largely free of precipitation. In the high altitudes of the northern Alps, strong southerly winds will blow in places. Sahara dust will still be in the air. At 1500 metres around 10 degrees, at 2000 metres around 7 degrees. On Tuesday, dense clouds will hang over the mountains and the sun will only appear briefly. There will also be a few showers, most likely in the afternoon. The wind will shift to the west and will be mostly moderate. It will be a touch cooler, 5 degrees at 1500 metres and 3 degrees at 2000 metres.

Slight cooling, some precipitation with a snowfall level above 2000 metres and wet snow problems.
