Snowpack Structure

A generally clear night. The weather will be very warm. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. This applies on sunny slopes. Below approximately 2200 m: The snowpack is wet all the way through. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise in the afternoon to a loss of strength within the snowpack especially on steep sunny slopes.

Tendency

Up to 2200 m and above rain will fall in some regions. Gliding avalanches and wet avalanches are the main danger.

Avalanche Activity

Gradual increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

A clear night will be followed in the early morning by quite favourable conditions. Individual gliding avalanches are possible, even medium-sized ones. This applies on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2600 m. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks. Afternoon: As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase gradually in particular on very steep sunny slopes. Natural loose snow slides are possible. Especially on steep, rather lightly snow-covered west facing slopes individual medium-sized wet slab avalanches are possible below approximately 2400 m. Backcountry tours, off-piste skiing and ascents to alpine cabins should be concluded timely.
