Slight increase in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of new snow and wind.

Slight increase in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of new snow and wind.

As a consequence of new snow and wind, avalanche prone wind slabs will form in the course of the day in some places. Avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on very steep slopes above the tree line, especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. As a consequence of the snowfall the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent in the afternoon. The mostly small wind slabs are to be bypassed in particular in terrain where there is a danger of falling. They are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility.

5 to 10 cm of snow, and up to 15 cm in some localities, will fall. As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind from northeasterly directions, mostly small wind slabs will form in the course of the day. In some places wind slabs are lying on soft layers. From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

Gradual decrease in danger of dry avalanches.
