Avalanche Activity

Little snow will fall in some localities. Slight increase in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of the strong northeasterly wind.

Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack on little used northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. These can as before be released by large loads and reach large size in isolated cases. In very isolated cases avalanches can penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach medium size.

Snowpack Structure

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night was quite good. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust. Little snow will fall today in some localities. As a consequence of highly fluctuating temperatures a crust formed on the surface during the last few days. Also shady slopes, below approximately 2200 m: The weather conditions gave rise to moistening of the snowpack.

Tendency

Until Monday the weather will be very warm. As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be a gradual increase in the danger of moist and wet avalanches.
