Low danger - wet slides and glide-snow avalanches

Mostly low danger prevails. Due to solar radiation and higher temperatures, slides and small loose-snow avalanches are possible in steep rocky terrain. In addition, in zones which have not yet discharged, small glide-snow avalanches are possible on steep grassy slopes, in forest clearances and on hillsides. Beware the dangers of taking a fall.

Fresh snow and drifts from recent days have been able to settle well except in high altitude steep terrain and in high-alpine regions, is well bonded with the old snowpack. The old snowpack is compact and stable, at low and intermediate altitudes wet down to the ground. A breakable crust generally forms at nigh, then softens during the daytime.

Nocturnal hours: Dry, scattered clouds. Friday daytime: Widespread cloudbanks, diffuse light conditions. Convective cloud build-up in afternoon, local fog, occasional showers. At 2000 m: -0 to 5 degrees. Light-to-moderate westerly winds.

On Saturday, variably cloudy, a bit of snowfall above 1500 m, intermittent winds and small snowdrifts generating as a result. Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
