Trigger-sensitive drifts near to and distant from ridges; wet-snow and glide-snow due to rain

Avalanche danger is moderate. Main problem: gliding snow. Up to summit levels on steep grassy slopes and in steep forest clearances in all aspects, small-to-medium glide-snow avalanches can trigger naturally. Glide cracks are danger signs. Wet-snow avalanches can trigger naturally in steep rocky terrain. Up to intermediate altitudes in all aspects in steep grassy slopes and forest clearances, small-to-medium glide-snow avalanches are possible. Glide cracks should be avoided. Also wet loose snow avalanches can trigger naturally in steep rocky terrain.

Stormy winds on Saturday night, some fresh snow will form new drifts, deposited atop a loose surface or older drifts, thus prone to triggering. At low altitudes the snow will fall on a moist surface, can bond better. The rain up to 2000 m will begin at night, weakend the snowpack, making loose-snow avalanches possible. The moist layer at ground level is wetter, favouring gliding snowpack movements.

Avalanche danger remains upright due to higher temperatures, wind and precipitation.
