Circumvent snowdrift accumulations
Avalanche danger is LOW. Slabs, mostly small-sized, can trigger particularly on very steep and extremely steep north, east and south-facing slopes by minimum additional loading. Isolated small glide-snow and loose-snow avalanches can trigger naturally. Danger zones occur on very steep and extremely steep slopes, in entries into gullies and bowls and behind protruberances in the landscape.
On top of a shallow and relatively compact snow cover, less than 30cm of snow and drifts (with embedded graupel) lie deposited. The border to the old snowpack can serve as a weak layer, more deeply embedded layers are unlikely to trigger.
On Saturday night, clouds will become dense. At midnight, light minor snowfall will set in, strong-velocity N/NW winds will arise (windspeeds of 50 km/hr). On Sunday, lots of cloud cover, intermittent light snowfall, only minor amounts expected. In the afternoon, precipiation will ease off, clouds disperse only gradually. At 2000m: -11 degrees.
No significant change anticipated
