Danger of falling outweighs that of being buried in snow masses

Danger of falling outweighs that of being buried in snow masses

Avalanche danger is low. Isolated small loose-snow naturally triggered avalanches are possible or can be triggered by one sole skier. Danger zones for small slab avalanches in the snowdrifts occur seldom on very steep north-facing slopes at high altitudes. On steep grass-covered slopes, isolated small glide-snow avalanches are possible.

The shallow, generally stable snowpack has consolidated well. On shady slopes, thin fresh snowdrift accumulations are being generated. Due to reduced nocturnal outgoing longwave radiation and often diffuse radiation the snowpack is superficially moist and forfeiting its firmness.

Nighttime skies will be heavily clouded, the final showers will slacken off. On Tuesday, varying sunshine and clouds, also varying visibility. During the daytime, risk of local showers will increase. At 2000m: -1 to +3 degrees; at 3000m: -6 degrees. Not much wind.

Little change expected
