Eastern Carniche Alps

The wind slabs remain for the foreseeable future prone to triggering. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses.

The wind slabs remain for the foreseeable future prone to triggering. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses.

The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In addition the easily released wind slabs must be taken into account. 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. In particular at intermediate and high altitudes the avalanches can penetrate even deep layers. Gliding avalanches can also occur. The avalanches can be released by small loads.

As a consequence of the wind, fresh snow drift accumulations formed during the last few days. Precarious weak layers exist in the snowpack. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good over a wide area. The upper section of the snowpack is hard and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is strong in many cases. In many places there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to thorough wetting of the snowpack.

Over a wide area warming. The weather will be mostly sunny.
