Avalanche Activity

Despite some fresh snow, only low avalanche danger

The small amount of fresh snow still brings only low avalanche danger. Small glide-snow avalanches and slides are possible on steep, smooth grass-covered slopes above all else.

Snowpack Structure

During the night above 1100 m, up to 10 cm of fresh snow is expected, falling mostly on bare ground or snowpack fragments. In higher ridgeline and summit zones the latest fresh snowfall was transported. Thus, small, fresh snowdrift accumulations were generated.

Weather Synopsis

Nocturnal hours: initially gray skies, light to moderate precipitation (snowfall above 1000 m). In the latter part of the night, precipitation will ease, skies will clear. Brisk westerly winds will be blowing. Thursday: dry weather, adequate visibility. Only around midday is a bit of snowfall possible. Still quite windy. At 2000 m: -5 to -2 degrees. Strong to stormy westerly winds.

Tendency

As a result of strong-to-stormy westerly winds, cloud cover will dominate. Rainfall/snowfall will focus on the northern mountain regions. Strong winds will persist. Avalanche danger levels could rise somewhat.
