Avalanche Activity

Favorable conditions will continue

Avalanche danger is predominantly low. Isolated danger zones occur particularly in extremely steep terrain. Small avalanche triggerings are mostly possible in relatively shallow-snow areas and in transitions from shallow to deep snow. Beware the danger of sliding and falling on hard-frozen steep slopes. During the course of the day, likelihood of naturally triggered small-sized avalanches increases somewhat on sun-basked, very steep slopes.

Snowpack Structure

Variably to heavily clouded nighttime skies will reduce the outgoing longwave radiation somewhat. The melt-freeze crust on sunny slopes will then be thinner and will soften earlier in the day than recently. On north-facing slopes the rain crust will extent regionally up to 2300-2500m. No further triggerings in older weak layers of the snowpack were registered in recent days at the Avalanche Warning Service.

Weather Forecast

Generally pleasant weather, slight foehn conditions with a mixture of cloudbanks passing through and intermittent sunshine. In the afternoon, often large convective cloud build-up, generating local showers here and there. Temperature at 2000m: -1 degree; at 3000m: -8 degrees. Light-to-moderate southwesterly winds at high altitudes.

Tendency

On Thursday a cold front will bring minor amounts of fresh snow.
