During the course of the day, clouds will disperse, but heavy convective cloud build-up will nevertheless limit visibility. It will remain dry by and large. Moderate SE winds will reach 30 km/hr. At 2000m: +2 to +5 degrees; at 3000m: -2 degrees. Source: GeoSphere Austria

Avalanche Activity

Beware wet snow

Wet-snow avalanches are small but can be triggered even by one sole skier in isolated cases, esp. at the foot of rock walls along the Italian border following nights of overcast skies. Especially in summit zones, isolated small wet loose-snowslides are possible. Due to rainfall, the likelihood of wet-snow avalanches triggering will increase somewhat. Many starting zones are already discharged completely.

Snowpack Structure

Esp. along the Italian border following a night of overcast skies: the snowpack surface can freeze only superficially and softens rapidly in the morning. Weather conditions are making the snowpack even wetter. Below 1800m hardly any snow on the ground.
