Gliding snow represents the main danger. Gradual increase in danger of wet snow slides as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

On steep grassy slopes and below approximately 2600 m individual gliding avalanches are possible, in particular medium-sized ones. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of wet loose snow avalanches being released will increase gradually especially on extremely steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m. Mostly avalanches are only small. The wind slabs of the last few days are now only very rarely prone to triggering. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes in high Alpine regions.

Steep sunny slopes as well as intermediate altitudes: Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to gradual softening of the snowpack. The mostly small wind slabs of the last few days have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. No distinct weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack.

Some snow will fall. As the temperature drops there will be a decrease in the danger of wet snow slides.
