Border Graie Alps

As a consequence of new snow and wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed in high Alpine regions. As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of dry and moist avalanches being released will increase gradually in particular on very steep sunny slopes.

As a consequence of new snow and wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed in high Alpine regions. As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of dry and moist avalanches being released will increase gradually in particular on very steep sunny slopes.

The new snow and wind slabs can be released in some cases at intermediate and high altitudes. In isolated cases the avalanches are medium-sized but can be released also by a single winter sport participant. In the event of solar radiation this applies in particular on very steep slopes. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation moist snow slides and avalanches are possible as the day progresses. Small and medium-sized natural avalanches are possible in particular on rocky sunny slopes. Backcountry tours, off-piste skiing and ascents to alpine cabins should be started early and concluded timely.

20 to 40 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the last three days above approximately 2000 m. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good over a wide area. The spring-like weather conditions will give rise to increasing settling of the snowpack in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. Above approximately 2000 m there is still a very large amount of snow. In the last few days numerous small and medium-sized avalanches were observed.

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