Increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of the rain.

From the early morning as a consequence of the rain there will be an increase in the danger of wet avalanches. In localities where a lot of rain falls the avalanche danger is greater. Wet avalanches can in some places be released by a single winter sport participant. Individual natural wet avalanches are possible. This applies on very steep shady slopes below approximately 2500 m. Avalanches can be released in the weakly bonded old snow and reach large size in isolated cases. Dry avalanches can additionally be released, even by small loads in isolated cases, especially on very steep northwest, north and northeast facing slopes above approximately 2500 m. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable. The avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise.

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced. The surface of the snowpack will freeze very little. Above approximately 2200 m snow will fall in some regions. Rain to 2400 m. The snowpack is moist, in particular on sunny slopes in all altitude zones, as well as on west, north and east facing slopes below approximately 2500 m. Steep west, north and east facing slopes: Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack at elevated altitudes.

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced. Some snow will fall in some regions.
