Middle Lys Valley

The weather conditions will give rise to rapid and thorough wetting of the snowpack in some places.

The weather conditions will give rise to rapid and thorough wetting of the snowpack in some places.

The snowpack will become prone to triggering also on shady slopes. In particular in starting zones where no previous releases have taken place small and medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are to be expected. Occasionally large natural avalanches are possible in isolated cases, caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep north, northeast and northwest facing slopes below approximately 3000 m, and on very steep sunny slopes below approximately 3300 m. In addition as the day progresses especially at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions, some mostly small dry avalanches are possible. The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality.

Especially along the border with France a partly overcast night: The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will already be soft in the early morning. Above approximately 2800 m snow will fall on Sunday in some localities. In some regions rain to the high Alpine regions: These weather conditions will give rise to moistening of the snowpack also at high altitude. Snow cover varies depending on altitude and exposure; in many areas above 2300 m the snow cover is continuous and abundant. Below approximately 2200 m a little snow is lying.

Temporary decrease in danger of moist avalanches as the temperature drops.
