Avalanche Activity

Wet-snow danger all day long

The snowpack can hardly freeze, softens up in morning. The danger of wet-snow avalanches (medium-sized) is heightened already in early morning and rises further due to daytime warming. On steep, smooth-ground slopes with lots of snow which have not yet discharged, glide-snow avalanches can trigger in all aspects.

Snowpack Structure

Due to reduced nocturnal longwave outgoing radiation and ongoing mild temperatures, the snowpack does not freeze at night. At all altitudes the snowpack is thoroughly wet.

Weather Forecast

High and intermediate clouds will pass through during the night, thickening during daytime. Isolated showers possible. Temperature at 2000m: 3 to 7 degrees; at 3000m: 0 degrees. Moderate to brisk south-to-southeasterly winds at high altitudes.

Tendency

Initially no change. Slopes becoming increasingly bare of snow.
