Wet-snow danger in very steep terrain where there is still lots of snow

Wet-snow danger in very steep terrain where there is still lots of snow

Persons can trigger wet-snow avalanches in very steep terrain. Danger zones generally occur only in summit zones of the Bregenzerwald mountains. Avalanches generally remain medium-sized. On steep, smooth-ground slopes with lots of snow which have not yet discharged, glide-snow avalanches can trigger in all aspects.

Due to reduced nocturnal longwave outgoing radiation and ongoing mild temperatures, the snowpack does not freeze at night. At all altitudes the snowpack is thoroughly wet.

Heavily clouded skies during the night, followed by dispersal in early morning and solar radiation. In afternoon, rain showers from place to place from the residual and convective clouds. Rising temperatures at all altitudes. Temperature at 2000m: 0 - +4 degrees; at 3000m: -5 to +2 degrees. Light winds at high altitudes.

On Wednesday night, still reduced outgoing longwave radiation is again anticipated. Gradually, high-pressure front conditions with mild temperatures will prevail. The slopes are continually becoming bare of snow.
