A clear night will be followed by favourable conditions over a wide area. Increase in danger of wet and gliding avalanches in the course of the day.

A clear night will be followed by favourable conditions over a wide area. Increase in danger of wet and gliding avalanches in the course of the day.

Especially on rocky sunny slopes small to medium-sized wet loose snow avalanches are to be expected. As the day progresses also on shady slopes there will be an increase in the danger of wet avalanches. In addition individual small and medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. This applies on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2600 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. Weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack can still be released in isolated cases by winter sport participants on very steep shady slopes. Shady slopes are unfavourable, in particular above approximately 2400 m. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. The avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise. In addition the fresh wind slabs in high Alpine regions are prone to triggering in some cases.

The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust only at high altitudes. The high temperatures as the day progresses will give rise to increasing softening of the snowpack also on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Caution is to be exercised in particular on sunny slopes below approximately 3000 m. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the top section of the snowpack especially on shady slopes. As a consequence of a sometimes strong southwesterly wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed in the vicinity of peaks. This applies in particular at high altitude.

The danger of wet avalanches will persist.
