Western Nonsberg Alps

As the day progresses as a consequence of solar radiation there will be only a slight increase in the danger of moist and wet snow slides. Old wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.

As the day progresses as a consequence of solar radiation there will be only a slight increase in the danger of moist and wet snow slides. Old wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.

The wind slabs of the last few days are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. The somewhat older wind slabs are to be avoided in particular in very steep terrain, also adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack in some places in particular on steep slopes. In all regions individual mostly small moist and wet snow slides are possible as a consequence of warming during the day.

The mostly small wind slabs are in some cases still prone to triggering in particular on shady slopes above the tree line. Above approximately 2000 m snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. In all regions below approximately 2000 m only a little snow is lying. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack.

On Monday it will be partly cloudy. Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of the precipitation.
