The avalanche risk is moderate at higher altitudes. Wet loose snow avalanches can still occur occasionally in extremely steep terrain. Spontaneous avalanche activity increases slightly during the daytime changes with incoming radiation and warming.

The new and drifting snow cover has already settled and lost its proneness to triggering. In shady high altitudes, the old snowpack with crusts and embedded angular crystals is unfavourably structured and weakened in places. Depending on the aspect, the snow becomes damp or wet during the day changes up to high altitudes, leading to a decreasing firmness and destabilisation of the snowpack.

On the mountains, Friday night will be clear and mostly frost-free. During the day, sunshine will dominate under mostly cloudless skies. The wind will be light to moderate. Temperatures: at 2000 metres between +2 degrees in the morning and +6 degrees in the afternoon, at 1500 metres between 0 degrees in the morning and up to +11 degrees in the afternoon.

Still plenty of sunshine. Slight daytime changes in the avalanche risk are expected.
