Main danger: wet-snow avalanches

Main danger: wet-snow avalanches

Avalanche danger above 1600 m is moderate, below that altitude danger is low. With ascending altitude, particularly in ridgeline terrain, fresh drifts are tricky: attention. Wherever there is sufficient snow, naturally triggered wet-snow avalanches can be expected and reach medium size. Also on bare-ground hiking trails, the risks of wet-snow avalanches require attentiveness.

Some fresh snow is expected overnight above 1600 m, with wind-impact new snowdrift accumulations will be generated. The old snowpack is thoroughly wet up to high altitudes. Shower-like thunderstorms are expected, heightening the likelihood of naturally trigered avalanches. At high altitudes the fersh snow is bonding with the old snowpack. At low and intermediate altitudes the ground is often bare.

Nocturnal hours: showers from the west in the evening are likely, in the nighttime hours widespread rainfall, the snowfall level descending to 1600 m. Monday: final precipitation will move eastwards, clouds will disperse, sunshine is possible but gray skies will persist in the moist westerly air current. Repeated bouts of rain or snow, snowfall level at 1500 m. At 2000 m: -2 degrees. Brisk W/NW winds.

Late winter conditions. Showerlike snowfall above 1200 m. Higher up, avalanche danger levels could increase due to fresh snowfall.
