Fischbach Alps East, Wechsel

Low avalanche danger - Caution: naturally triggered avalanches

The old snowpack is generally stable and has a melt-freeze crust on the surface. Westerly winds have formed fresh, trigger-sensitive snowdrift patches. Also, the daytime warmth is made bonding between fresh fallen snow of last week and the snowpack fundament weaker. Exposed summit and entry zones, on the other hand, are utterly windblown: risk of falling!

As a result of a nighttime perturbance, intermediate altitude clouds will pass through, the peaks will remain free and it will stay dry. A moderate (in the Northern Alps, brisk) westerly wind will be blowing. It is becoming milder: at 2000 m, -2 degrees at midday.

Low avalanche danger - Caution: naturally triggered avalanches

Low danger prevails in general, but freshly generated snowdrift accumulations, particularly at entries into steep gullies and bowls can be triggered, mostly by large additional loading. Only small-to-medium releases are expected. But due to daytime warmth, increasingly frequent naturally triggered wet-snow avalanches can be expected in steep terrain.

On Wednesday, mostly sunny weather all day long. Temperatures will rise measurrably at all altitudes. The snowpack will settle further.
