Only isolated danger zones

Only isolated danger zones

Avalanche danger is LOW. Isolated avalanche prone locations for a slab are found in extremely steep gullies. The risks of being swept along outweigh those of being buried in snow masses.. Glide-snow avalanches will remain small, due to the shallow snowpack.

The snowpack is shallow, was able to settle on Wednesday. Powder snow can still be found. The old snowpack is expansively metamorphosed (faceted) in some places, or there is surface hoar embedded. The weak layers are small, however, and not easily disturbed.

On Thursday the peaks of the Northern Alps will be wreathed in heavy clouds, visibility will improve only minimally over the course of the day. In the grassy mountains the day will start with good visibility and lots of sunshine, clouds will move in during the afternoon, generate diffuse light. A light to moderate SW wind will be blowing. At 2000 m: 0 degrees. On Friday, peaks often shrouded in clouds, visibility often limited. Intermittent snowfall in the Northern Alps to start with. In the afternoon, the snowfall will become more frequent further south. A moderate westerly wind will be blowing. At 2000 m: -3 degrees.

Little change is anticipated. Over the next few days, only a few centimetres of snowfall is expected.
