Border Graie Alps

Afternoon: In some localities snowfall above approximately 2500 m: The sleet will give rise to extreme moistening of the snowpack also at intermediate altitudes.

As a consequence of the precipitation the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses. From starting zones that have retained some snow in particular on very steep slopes the avalanches can reach medium size. In addition in the afternoon in particular at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions, some small to medium-sized dry avalanches are possible. 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.

The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze. The sleet will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the old snowpack. This applies in particular below approximately 2500 m. Over a wide area new snow and wind slabs are lying on a moist old snowpack. Below approximately 2300 m a little snow is lying.
