Border Graie Alps

Moist and wet avalanches are the main danger.

Moist and wet avalanches are the main danger.

The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality. Up to 2200 m rain will fall in some localities. In the early morning the weather will be cloudy. The weather conditions gave rise to moistening of the snowpack in all aspects below approximately 2400 m. The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will already be soft in the early morning. From the afternoon the weather will be sunny at times. The new snow is bonding well with the old snowpack. Individual mostly small natural avalanches are nontheless not ruled out. As a consequence of solar radiation the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent in the afternoon.

Also above approximately 2500 m: As a consequence of mild temperatures and partly cloudy skies the snowpack consolidated during the last few days. The surface of the snowpack cooled hardly at all during the overcast night and will soften quickly. Below approximately 2500 m: Only a little snow is lying on south facing slopes.
