The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften earlier than the day before. As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be a rapid increase in the danger of moist and wet avalanches.
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be good. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften earlier than the day before. The backcountry touring conditions in the morning are generally favourable. The weather conditions facilitated a gradual strengthening of the snowpack. Below approximately 2200 m a little snow is lying.
The backcountry touring conditions in the morning, after a clear night, are favourable.
The conditions are spring-like. As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be an increase in the avalanche danger to level 2 (moderate). Small and medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are possible, caution is to be exercised in particular on extremely steep east and west facing slopes below approximately 3400 m, and on north facing slopes below approximately 3000 m. Backcountry tours should be started very early and concluded timely. The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality.
