Wet snow represents the main danger.
Wet avalanches can in some places be released by small loads, especially on very steep slopes. Avalanches can in very isolated cases penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach medium size, in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m.
The snowpack will be wet all the way through over a wide area. As a consequence of mild temperatures and high relative humidity the snowpack can not consolidate. The snowpack remains weakly bonded in some places. Towards its base, the snowpack consists of faceted crystals, especially on shady slopes at elevated altitudes.
Slight decrease in danger of wet avalanches as the temperature drops. Down to 2000 m snow will fall in some regions.
