Regions: South Coast.

Solar input during the day will increase the potential for triggering loose wet avalanches. They are expected to be small and manageable with normal caution.

Confidence

High - The weather pattern is stable

Weather Forecast

FRIDAY NIGHT: Clear, light southerly wind, alpine temperature -2 C, freezing level 2000 mSATURDAY: Sunny, light westerly wind, alpine temperature -2 C, freezing level 2000 mSUNDAY: Mix of sun and cloud, light westerly wind, alpine temperature -2 C, freezing level 2000 mMONDAY: Mix of sun and cloud, light to moderate easterly wind, alpine temperature -2, freezing level 2100 m

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported recently.

Snowpack Summary

The recent snow from the beginning of the week is wet and sitting on either moist snow or a melt freeze crust. With warm air temperatures and sunshine you can expect the snow surface to become moist or wet.

Avalanche Problems

Loose Wet

The snow surface will weaken with increasing air temperatures and solar input during the day and increase the likelihood of thin loose wet avalanches running in steep terrain, mainly on those slopes facing the sun.
Cornices become weak with daytime heating, travel early on exposed slopes.Use caution above cliffs and terrain traps where small avalanches may have severe consequences.Minimize exposure when the solar radiation is strong, especially if snow is moist or wet.

Aspects: East, South East, South, South West, West.

Elevations: All elevations.

Likelihood: Unlikely

Expected Size: 1 - 1
