Naturally triggered loose-snow avalanches in case of solar radiation. Some drifts in high-alpine zones. Beware falls.

Avalanche danger below 2800m is moderate. Below 2800m, small-sized wet avalanches can trigger naturally (in very isolated cases medium-sized) at any time of day or night or else be triggered by persons. Also isolated small-to-medium sized glide-snow avalanches are possible. Above 2700m, small dry-snow slab avalanches can be triggered by one sole skier in isolated cases, particularly on steep wind-loaded slopes and in shady gullies and bowls.

There has been 10-30cm of slightly wind-impacted fresh snow deposited atop a compact snowpack up to high altitudes (2600-2800m) which is moist/wet. Above 2600m the near-surface layers of graupel and other soft layers inside the snowdrift accumulations serve as potential weak layers. Due to diffuse radiaiton and warmth, the snowpack is forfeiting its firmness.

Nocturnal skies will be partly cloudy. On Sunday, clouds and fog will limit visibility to start with, but sunshine will come through during the morning hours. In the afternoon, convective cloud build-up will again limit visibility. Little wind. At 2000m: +2 to +8 degrees; at 3000m: -3 to 0 degrees.

Little change is anticipated
