Low avalanche danger will prevail.

Low avalanche danger will prevail.

In very isolated cases avalanches can be triggered in the weakly bonded old snow. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Wind slabs are mostly small and can only be released in isolated cases. Such avalanche prone locations are very rare and are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Mostly the avalanches are small.

Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted. Fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers on shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to moistening of the snowpack.

On Sunday it will be cloudy. Above approximately 1000 m snow will fall in the afternoon over a wide area. The wind will be strong to storm force. In the afternoon as a consequence of new snow and wind there will be an increase in the avalanche danger.
