Snowpack Structure

The weather conditions facilitated a substantial strengthening of the snowpack. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night was good over a wide area. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to gradual softening of the snowpack especially on sunny slopes. These conditions will bring about a substantial weakening of the snowpack from midday.

Tendency

Saturday: The avalanche danger will increase during the day. Wet snow represents the main danger.

Avalanche Activity

Increase in danger of wet avalanches in the course of the day.

Late morning: The early morning will see favourable avalanche conditions over a wide area. Midday and afternoon: As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of wet avalanches during the day being released will increase appreciably. This applies especially on steep sunny slopes. The avalanches are rather small. In particular in steep rocky terrain more small to medium-sized loose snow avalanches are possible.
