Moist loose snow avalanches and gliding avalanches are still possible during the day in isolated cases.

Moist loose snow avalanches and gliding avalanches are still possible during the day in isolated cases.

As the moisture increases individual gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible as the day progresses, but they will be mostly small. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep slopes below approximately 2300 m and on very steep grassy slopes. Moist avalanches can to an increasing extent be released by people or triggered naturally. Even a small avalanche can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

The snowpack will be generally stable. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. The sleet will give rise from midday to increasing moistening of the snowpack in all aspects in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. At intermediate and high altitudes there are 20 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. In all regions less snow than usual is lying. On steep sunny slopes at low and intermediate altitudes no snow is lying. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.

Sunday: Up to 10 cm of snow, but less in some localities, will fall during the night above approximately 1500 m. Gradual increase in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of the new snow. Significant decrease in danger of moist avalanches as the temperature drops.
