Note isolated snowdrift accumulations

The avalanche danger is low. There are only a few fresh snowdrift accumulations in gullies and bowls and behind exposed broad ridges and ridgelines. These can be triggered as small slab avalanches. The risk of falling outweighs the risk of burial.

At higher altitudes, fresh snowdrift accumulations often lie on soft layers of snow, which can act as a weak layer. In addition, some rain and brief warming has partially moistened the snow cover, where a melt-freeze crust forms with renewed cooling. Generally speaking, there is little snow.

It will be largely free of precipitation during the night to Saturday. During the day, it will be mostly cloudy. Snowfall will occur at times, especially in the afternoon and evening. The wind will blow moderately to briskly from the west at high altitudes. It will cool down considerably at all altitudes. The temperature at 1500 metres will be between -7 and -2 degrees, at 1000 metres between -1 and -6 degrees. Strong to gale-force winds from the north-west.

Little change in avalanche danger.
