Tendency

Sunday morning will be pleasant and partly sunny. From the north, clouds will then move in. Towards evening, rainfall/snowfall will set in (snowfall above 1600m). Strong winds will generate fresh snowdrift accumulations, effect a slight increase in avalanche danger levels. The risk of wet-snow avalanches will recede as temperatures drop.

Avalanche Activity

Not much snow on the ground, mostly low danger

Avalanche danger is mostly low, no pronounced problem is evident. During the course of the day, small wet-snow avalanches can trigger. On smooth, steep grass-covered slopes and in sparsely wooded zones, isolated small glide-snow avalanches are possible. Glide cracks are indicators of imminent danger.

Snowpack Structure

The shallow snowpack has settled well and is stable. Solar radiation and daytime warming moisten the snowpack and lead to a loss of firmness in the snowpack. On sunny slopes, the ground is becoming bare of snow to an increasing degree.

Weather Synopsis

Nocturnal hours: skies often overcast, clouds dispersing somewhat during the night. Saturday: partly sunny and good visibility, mild, zero-degree level at nearly 2700m. At 2000 m: 2-5 degrees. Strong NW winds in high alpine regions and ridgeline zones.
