Wind slabs require caution. Wet avalanches as the day progresses.

Wind slabs require caution. Wet avalanches as the day progresses.

The wind slabs of the last few days are in individual cases still prone to triggering, especially on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. They are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular in terrain where there is a danger of falling. On sunny slopes mostly small wet avalanches are to be expected as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

The mostly small wind slabs of the last few days are in individual cases still prone to triggering. Hardly any weak layers exist in the old snowpack. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack. These conditions will bring about a gradual weakening of the snowpack in particular on steep sunny slopes.

Significant warming. Increase in danger of wet avalanches in the course of the day.
