Hardly any increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of new snow and wind. 10 cm of snow, but less in some localities, will fall.

In the afternoon mostly small wind slabs will form. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in extremely steep terrain at elevated altitudes and on shady slopes. They are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular in terrain where there is a danger of falling.

Less snow than usual is lying. The old snowpack is largely stable. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Up to 1800 m rain will fall until Thursday over a wide area. Some fresh snow and the mostly small wind slabs that are forming during the snowfall represent the main danger. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack in some cases, in particular at intermediate altitudes.

The new snow and wind slabs of Wednesday represent the main danger. The avalanche danger will increase a little during the day.
