The danger of moist and wet avalanches will already exist in the early morning.
The danger of moist and wet avalanches will already exist in the early morning. This applies in all aspects at low and intermediate altitudes. High altitudes: As the day progresses the likelihood of dry and wet avalanches being released will increase. In the event of prolonged bright spells this applies in particular. Avalanches can in particular be released in near-surface layers and reach medium size. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. The avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise.
The rain will give rise during the course of the night to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. The surface of the snowpack will already be soft in the early morning. Towards its base, the snowpack consists of faceted crystals, in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes.
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be good over a wide area. The avalanche danger will increase a little during the day.
