Gradual increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

The early morning will see favourable conditions generally. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of moist avalanches being released will increase gradually in particular on rocky sunny slopes. Individual small to medium-sized moist avalanches are possible below approximately 2900 m.

Low altitudes as well as steep sunny slopes: As a consequence of rising temperatures and solar radiation a crust formed on the surface. The surface of the snowpack will soften during the day. Intermediate and high altitudes as well as shady slopes: Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted. The snowpack is largely stable and its surface consists of loosely bonded snow lying on a strong crust. In all aspects as well as in all altitude zones less snow than usual is lying.
