Wind slab problem at high altitudes, wet snow problem at lower altitudes.

Wind slab problem at high altitudes, wet snow problem at lower altitudes.

The avalanche risk is generally moderate. Avalanche prone locations in the high altitudes are slopes with a northeast to east to south aspect. Caution is advised behind terrain edges and in entrances to gullies and bowls. Medium-sized slab avalanches can be triggered by individuals in some places. Spontaneous wet snow avalanches can occur at lower altitudes and spontaneous gliding avalanches on steep grassy slopes.

In the northeast to east to south aspects, older snowdrift accumulations can be found, some of which lie on a weak layer of surface hoar or faceted crystals. The snow base, fundament is partially weakened by faceted crystals and floating snow. At lower elevations, the snow becomes moist and loses firmness. On steep meadow slopes, the snow can begin to glide.

The regions south of the main Alpine ridge will remain weather-favoured and no precipitation is expected. The sun will be increasingly visible during the day. It is generally quite mild, with temperatures between -1 degree and +1 degree at 2000 metres above sea level. The wind will blow weakly to moderately from the west.

Clouds will increase again on Tuesday, but hardly any precipitation is expected south of the main Alpine ridge. It will remain relatively mild. The risk of avalanches will decrease slightly.
