Low avalanche danger will prevail.

Avalanches are no longer likely to occur. Very isolated avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on northeast, north and northwest facing slopes. This applies especially at elevated altitudes. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night was good over a wide area. Towards its surface, the snowpack consists of faceted crystals, especially in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow on shady slopes. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good at times. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to softening of the snowpack in particular on very steep sunny slopes.
