Despite some fresh snow, only low avalanche danger

The small amount of fresh snow still brings only low avalanche danger. Small glide-snow avalanches and slides are possible on steep, smooth grass-covered slopes above all else.

During the night the snowfall level will descend from 1100 to 800 m and up to 10 cm of fresh snow is anticipated. This batch plus the fresh snow from recent days was, and is still being transported. Small snowdrift accumulations will be generated.

In the nocturnal hours: gusty westerly winds, intermittent snowfall in the northern mountain regions, the snowfall level descending gradually to nearly 800 m. In the latter part of the night dry conditions will reign. Saturday: compact clouds will make for gray skies but the peaks will remain clear. It is expected to remain dry until evening, not until the following night is rainfall expected to reach over 2000 m. Brisk westerly winds, stronger in the afternoon.

The nighttime precipitation will recede on Sunday, it will remain dry until past midday. Then cloud cover will move in and snowfall can be expected in all regions. The snowfall level will descend from over 2000 m to below 1000 m. As a result of fresh snow and wind, avalanche danger levels are expected to increase on Sunday.
