Wet-snow danger in very steep terrain where there is still lots of snow

Wet-snow danger in very steep terrain where there is still lots of snow

During the course of the day, danger of wet-snow avalanches will increase to moderate. Isolated wet slab avalanches can be triggered by winter sports enthusiasts. Avalanche prone locations occur generally only in summit zones. Avalanches will generally be medium-sized. On steep slopes where there is still lots of snow on smooth ground, glide-snow avalanches can trigger in all aspects.

During the night, a melt-freeze crust will form which is capable of bearing loads, then soften up during the daytime. The snowpack is thoroughly wet up to summit zones in all aspects.

On Friday, quite sunny weather will prevail from the start, with some high-altitude cirrus clouds and daytime convective cloud build-up. Tendency towards showers will be low. Still light winds in the mountains, the zero-degree level just below 3000m. Temperature at 2000m: up to +7 degrees; at 3000m: -1 degree. Light to moderate westerly-to-northwesterly winds at high altitudes.

Nocturnal outgoing radiation will be good. Conditions during the morning hours will be good. During the daytime, danger of wet-snow avalanches will increase.
