Avalanche Activity

Significant warming: The danger of wet avalanches will already increase in the late morning.

As a consequence of warming and solar radiation, the natural activity of wet avalanches will rapidly increase. This applies in all aspects. The wet avalanches can release the saturated snowpack and reach medium size in isolated cases. On steep grassy slopes small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible.

Snowpack Structure

The weather will be exceptionally warm. The surface of the snowpack is hardly frozen at all and will already soften in the late morning. These conditions will cause a rapid weakening of the snowpack. Hardly any snow is lying at low and intermediate altitudes.

Tendency

The weather will be exceptionally warm. The danger of wet and gliding avalanches will persist.
