Small snowdrift accumulations have been generated due to fresh snow and wind

The small amount of fresh snow still effects only low avalanche danger. As a result of fresh snow and strong westerly winds, small snowdrift accumulations are prone to triggering at high altitudes. Risks of falling need to be taken into consideration.

By this evening a few cm of snowfall fell. Westerly winds at strong-to-storm strength transported the new snow and loose old snow. The fresh snow and fresh drifts from recent days have been able to settle somewhat in the mild temperatures, and consolidate. At low altitudes there is very little snow on the ground.

Nocturnal hours: Skies will be slightly cloudy, westerly winds will slacken off. Monday: southerly foehn winds will alternated with cloudbanks as they pass through, accompanied by intervals of sunshine. Towards evening, clouds will become denser, a few snow showers are possible. Southerly foehn winds from the southwest will be brisk to strong.

Cloudbanks passing through will alternate with sunny intervals on Tuesday. Some foehn wind influence. Towards evening, clouds will move in, light snowfall set in. Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change initially.
