Gliding snow and wet loose-snow slides during daytime hours

Very sunny and mild in the mountains, the air is extraordinarily dry. Temperature at 2000m: +5 degrees, at 3000m: +1 degree. High-altitude winds are southwesterly, blowing at light to moderate strength.

The danger of wet-snow avalanches is subject to a daily danger cycle, increasing slightly during the course of the day.

Gliding snow and wet loose-snow slides during daytime hours

As a result of daytime warming and solar radiation, wet loose-snow slides are possible. Glide-snow avalanches continue to trigger naturally on steep smooth slopes. Due to the shallowness of the snow, avalanches remain small-sized.

The snowpack has been weakened up to high altitudes as a result of rain impact. Through adequate nocturnal outgoing radiation the snowpack can consolidate superficially. During the course of the day it softens up and the danger of wet-snow avalanches rises slightly.
