Bresciane Prealps

As a consequence of the solar radiation, the likelihood of moist and wet avalanches being released will increase gradually in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m.

As a consequence of the solar radiation, the likelihood of moist and wet avalanches being released will increase gradually in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m.

The high temperatures as the day progresses will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack in particular on shady slopes. These conditions will facilitate a gradual weakening of the near-surface layers as the day progresses in particular on shady slopes. Above approximately 1800 m small moist and wet avalanches are possible.

As a consequence of highly fluctuating temperatures and solar radiation the snowpack consolidated. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will already soften in the late morning. The old snowpack remains weakly bonded especially on very steep shady slopes.
