Avalanches can at their margins still occasionally be released.
As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation the snowpack consolidated during the last few days. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep slopes above approximately 2200 m. Places where weak layers exist in the old snowpack or where melt-freeze crusts have formed are unfavourable. The avalanches can still in isolated cases be released, mostly by large loads and reach medium size. On sunny slopes as well as at low altitude only a little snow is lying on south and southeast facing slopes.
Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes at low and intermediate altitudes.
