Monregalese Valleys

As a consequence of warming and solar radiation a moderate danger of moist avalanches will prevail.

As a consequence of warming and solar radiation a moderate danger of moist avalanches will prevail.

The wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases in particular on very steep northwest, north and northeast facing slopes above approximately 2500 m. Medium-sized avalanches are still possible. In particular on very steep sunny slopes and in starting zones where no previous releases have taken place medium-sized gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible as a consequence of warming during the day. Backcountry tours should be started and concluded early.

Over a wide area 15 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell on Tuesday above approximately 1800 m. As a consequence of northeasterly wind, soft wind slabs formed. The more recent wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good. The surface of the snowpack will soften earlier than the day before.

The spring-like weather conditions will give rise to increasing settling of the snowpack.
