Avalanche Activity

Wet snow represents the main danger.

As a consequence of warming wet avalanches are possible from the early morning, but they will be mostly small. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep slopes of all aspects. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Snowpack Structure

The rain gave rise on Friday to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack over a wide area. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced. The surface of the snowpack will freeze very little and will soften quickly. The high temperatures will give rise to a loss of strength within the snowpack. At low and intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying.

Tendency

Gradual decrease in danger of wet avalanches as the temperature drops.
