Wind slabs are small and unlikely to be released now. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on near-ridge shady slopes. They are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. On steep grassy slopes small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. This applies in particular in the west and below approximately 2400 m. As the moisture increases individual wet loose snow slides are possible. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

The mostly shallow wind slabs of the last few days have bonded well with the old snowpack. They are unlikely to be released now. Over a wide area a mostly overcast night. These weather conditions will give rise to increasing softening of the snowpack. This applies in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.
