Small wet avalanches can trigger esp. in the sunshine

Avalanche danger is low. Main problem: wet snow. Small loose-snow avalanches can trigger naturally in extremely steep terrain, esp. in the sunshine. In addition, on steep slopes which have not yet discharged, glide-snow avalanches can release naturally over smooth ground, releases mostly small.

Sahara dust and high-altitude clouds hampered nocturnal outgoing longwave radiation. A melt-freeze crust capable of bearing loads could not form. Mostly the snowpack is stable, thoroughly moist, wet at ground level. As the day progresses the melt-freeze crust thaws due to sun and warmth and the moistening process continues.

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
