Avalanche danger in general low, small loose snow avalanche are to expect!

The Avalanche danger is in general low, but sun light and warming during the day will lead to destabilization of the small new snow layer. Spontaneous loose snow avalanches especially from sunny slopes and extremely steep slopes, gliding snow avalanches on grassy areas are to expect.

The new snow from the weekend has settled without significant weak layers. In high shady slopes the snow base is formed of faceted snow which could be a weak layer in some areas. The surface layer will be moistened due to sunlight and warming especially on southern parts. On smooth grassy slopes the bottom layer could start gliding.

On Friday high fog persists in lowlands, but above 1.000 m AMSL sunny and mild weather is to expect. The wind stays weak and temperatures in about 2.000 m AMSL are around +1 Degrees C. During the day temperatures are expected to rise and will reach till evening in 2.000 m AMSL 0 degrees.

The avalanche danger stays low.
