Rising avalanche danger as a result of rainfall

Rising avalanche danger as a result of rainfall

Avalanche danger is moderate. As a result of the mild temperatures and rain impact, increasingly frequent wet-snow slides and glide-snow avalanches are possible. Due to the low snow depths, the avalanches will be small.

The rainfall was heavier than foreast and thereby, the shallow old snowpack was increasingly weakened at low and intermediate altitudes. Above 2000m, strong-velocity winds initially transported the snow and generated small snowdrift accumulations.

Rainfall and snowfall in high alpine regions will taper off by midday. In the afternoon it will turn sunny. The temperatures will continue to rise. Temperature at 2000m: 2-6 degrees. Moderate-strength high altitude winds, brisk to start with, from the west.

Very sunny, very mild. Increasingly frequent small-to-medium sized wet-snow and glide-snow avalanches are thus possible.
