Stability: very poor · Frequency: few
Wet snow represents the main danger. As a consequence of the rain natural wet avalanches are to be expected.
The danger of moist and wet avalanches will already be elevated in the early morning. As a consequence of the rain, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase in particular on steep shady slopes. Individual natural avalanches are to be expected, even medium-sized ones.
The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will already be soft in the early morning. Up to 2200 m and above rain will fall. The weather conditions towards the evening will give rise to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack. This situation will give rise to a loss of strength within the snowpack especially on steep shady slopes.
Slight decrease in danger of wet avalanches as the snowfall level drops. Above approximately 2000 m snow will fall in some regions.
