Avalanche Activity

The danger of moist avalanches will increase during the day. The fresh and older wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence.

As a consequence of warming moist and wet avalanches are possible as the day progresses, but they can reach medium size in some cases, in particular on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2400 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. The new snow and wind slabs of the weekend are to be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Avalanches can be triggered in near-surface layers and reach medium size in all aspects. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls, as well as in places that are protected from the wind.

Snowpack Structure

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to gradual moistening of the snowpack in particular on steep sunny slopes at intermediate altitudes. In all regions below the tree line a little snow is lying.

Tendency

The weather conditions will facilitate a gradual strengthening of the snowpack.
