Beware fresh snowdrifts
Fresh small-sized snowdrift accumulations are prone to triggering. Danger zones occur primarily on steep ridgeline slopes and in wind-loaded gullies and bowls. Frequency and spread of avalanche prone locations increase with ascending altitude. In addition, in avalanches on shady slopes fracture down to deeper layers inside the snowpqck they can in isolated cases grow to large size. Such danger zones occur primarily in spots where the snow is shallow and in transitions from shallow to deep snow.
During the nighttime hours, heavy cloud cover and some showers passing through from Bregenzerwald to Arlberg and Montafon. Nocturnal snow showers will swiftly taper off, during the morning hours the clouds will gradually disperse. Intermittent sunshine is possible. Temperature at 2000m: -6 to -4 degrees; at 3000m: -10 degrees. Moderate to brisk N/NE winds at high altitudes.
Avalanche danger is not expected to change significantly. Caution urged towards fresh snowdrifts.
