Prags Dolomites

As a consequence of warming and solar radiation an unfavourable avalanche situation will prevail.

As a consequence of warming and solar radiation an unfavourable avalanche situation will prevail.

As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be a rapid increase in the danger of wet avalanches. As the penetration by moisture increases individual medium-sized wet and gliding avalanches are possible. This applies on steep sunny slopes especially below approximately 2600 m, as well as on steep shady slopes below approximately 2200 m. The danger is within the upper range of danger level 2 (moderate).

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good over a wide area. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to a loss of strength within the snowpack below approximately 2600 m.

As a consequence of sharply falling temperatures the snowpack will consolidate towards the evening. In some regions 5 to 15 cm of snow will fall from the afternoon. As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong northerly wind, mostly small wind slabs will form towards the evening.
