Weather Forecast

Friday will bring good weather. Above possible fogbanks, visibility is good, though the sunshine is somewhat dampened by clouds. As of midday, cloud cover will increase. Precipitation is not expected before evening. At 2000 m: +2 degrees; at 3000 m: -4 degrees. Mostly light winds.

Tendency

Due to higher temperatures, wet-snow and glide-snow activity will increase on the weekend.

Avalanche Activity

Favourable avalanche situation by and large

Glide-snow activity can be expected up to summit levels, due to rising temperatures. They are usually small, can trigger at any time of day. Especially on S/E facing slopes. Avoid zones below glide cracks. Near summits and in high altitude exposed terrain, trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations occur near ridgelines, mostly small sized. As temperatures rise, small wet-snow avalanches can be expected in extremely steep terrain.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack is stable by and large. Due to higher temperatures, the snowpack will become increasingly wet.
