Low avalanche danger, but isolated danger zones on shady high-altitude slopes. Glide-snow activity on south-facing slopes.

Low avalanche danger prevails. Isolated avalanche prone locations occur especially on shady slopes in transitions from shallow to deep snow (persistent weak layer), and on east-facing slopes and behind protruberances. . In isolated cases, the weak layers in the old snow can trigger a medium-to-large sized avalanche. On sunny slopes, steep grass-covered terrain can expect naturally triggered glide-snow avalanches. Glide cracks (‘fishbones’) should be seen as red flags.

On sunny slopes the snowpack is covered by a melt-freeze crust. On shady slopes the weak layers deeper down inside the snowpack are a threat. On sunny slopes, glide cracks have formed on steep grass-covered slopes.

Sunshine over widespread areas from the start. Harmless clouds will soon disperse. Good visibility above the highest summits. At 2000 m: -8 degrees at midday. Winds will be light to start with, intensify during the daytime and shift to southerly, reaching 60 km/hr.

On Sunday, slightly higher temperatures, sunny by and large. Avalanche danger will remain low.
