Stability: poor · Frequency: few
Wet snow requires caution.
Wet avalanches can in isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant. This applies especially below approximately 2600 m.
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted at times. The surface of the snowpack will freeze very little and will soften quickly. Shady slopes above approximately 2500 m: Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack at elevated altitudes. On steep sunny slopes as well as below approximately 1800 m hardly any snow is lying.
Some rain will fall over a wide area. The danger of wet avalanches will already exist in the early morning.
