Stability: very poor · Frequency: few
Up to 2200 m rain will fall. Northwest, north and northeast facing slopes: The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will already be soft in the early morning. The rain will give rise to extreme and thorough wetting of the snowpack. West and east facing slopes: Only a little snow is now lying. The snowpack will be wet all the way through.
Gradual decrease in danger of wet avalanches.
Wet snow represents the main danger. With the onset of the rainfall, the natural avalanche activity will appreciably increase.
As a consequence of the rain medium-sized wet avalanches are to be expected. This applies in particular on very steep shady slopes. In steep gullies avalanches can reach areas without any snow cover. The runout zones are to be avoided.
