Avalanche Activity

Small wet-snow slides possible

On extremely steep slopes, persons can in isolated cases trigger wet loose-snow slides where there is still sufficient snow on the ground.

Snowpack Structure

Lower altitude zones are bare of snow. On sunny slopes the ground is becoming bare of snow. Where there is a snowpack, it is thoroughly wet. During the night, a crust forms which is capable of bearing loads, then softens up during daytime hours.

Weather Forecast

Once again, sunny weather in the mountains will prevail. With only a few cirrus clouds and daytime convective cloud build-up, very few limitations on visibility can be expected. Showers are not anticipated. Zero-degree level at 3000m. Temperature at 2000m: up to +8 degrees; at 3000m: 0 degrees. Mostly light westerly to northwesterly winds at high altitudes.

Tendency

Nocturnal outgoing longwave radiation will be limited. During the daytime on Sunday, temperatures will gradually drop, shower activity increase. The snowfall level will descend from 2200 down to 1800m. Danger of wet-snow avalanches will continue.
