Slight increase in danger of wet avalanches in the course of the day.

Slight increase in danger of wet avalanches in the course of the day.

As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be only a slight increase in the danger of wet avalanches. Wet avalanches can in isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant. This applies on very steep shady slopes below approximately 2500 m, as well as on very steep sunny slopes at elevated altitudes. Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2500 m. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable. The avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise.

Some snow has fallen in some localities, in particular at intermediate and high altitudes. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced at times. The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will already soften in the late morning. Shady slopes above approximately 2500 m: Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack at elevated altitudes. On steep sunny slopes as well as below approximately 2000 m hardly any snow is lying.

The danger of wet avalanches will persist.
