Gliding snow and wet loose-snow slides during daytime hours

As a result of daytime warming, mostly small-sized wet loose-snow avalanches are possible. Glide-snow avalanches continue to glide away naturally on steep, smooth slopes. Due to the shallow snow depths, avalanches remain predominantly small-sized.

Up to high altitudes the snowpack has been weakened by rain impact. The nocturnal outgoing radiation is slightly dampened due to high-altitude cloudbanks, thus, the snowpack can consolidate only at superficial levels. During the course of the day, it softens up and the danger of wet-snow avalanches again increases somewhat.

Sunshine is gradually being pressed into the background. Widespread cloudbanks at the edge of a weak cold front are moving over the mountain summits. Nevertheless, no precipitation is anticipated. Temperatures will drop slightly, to begin with. Temperature at 2000m: 0 to 4 degrees, at 3000m: -3 degrees. High-altitude winds will be light.

Little change is expected, avalanche danger remains low
