Western Carniche Prealps

As a consequence of warming the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses. The wind slabs of the last few days remain prone to triggering.

The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack. The wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack. Precarious weak layers exist in the snowpack.

The weather will be sunny at times.

As a consequence of warming the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses. The wind slabs of the last few days remain prone to triggering.

The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation loose snow avalanches are possible as the day progresses. This applies in particular on sunny slopes. In particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation the avalanches can be released in deep layers of the snowpack. The wind slabs of the last few days are covered with new snow and therefore difficult to recognise. Avalanches can be released, in particular by large loads.
