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

In evening hours, outgoing radiation will still be effective, but during nighttime hours due to heavy cloud cover, increasingly limited. In early morning hours, rain showers will set in up to 2300m. As showers increase, the snowfall level will drop to about 1800m during the day. The snowpack is thoroughly wet. Lower altitudes are bare of snow. Sunny slopes are becoming bare of snow up to high altitudes. Where there is a snowpack on the ground it is thoroughly wet.

Weather Forecast

A cold front. Thus, cloudy skies emerging from night, perhaps foggy and showers in early morning. During the daytime, showers will increase, thunderstorms cannot be ruled out. Temperatures will gradually drop, the snowfall level descend from 2300 to nearly 1800m. Bright windows will not persist. Temperature at 2000m: dropping from +4 to +1 degree; at 3000m: from -2 to -5 degrees. Brisk westerly winds at high altitudes.

Tendency

Wet-snow avalanche activity will recede as temperatures drop
