Avalanche Activity

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good. Mainly in the east of the Region; more cloudy in the morning in the west. The backcountry touring conditions at high altitude are generally favourable.

The weather will be mild. As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be an increase in the avalanche danger to level 2 (moderate). In particular on extremely steep slopes small and medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are possible. Backcountry tours should be concluded timely. The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality.

Snowpack Structure

2 to 5 cm of snow fell on Sunday above approximately 2700 m. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust only at high altitudes. The weather conditions facilitated a gradual strengthening of the snowpack. Below approximately 2100 m a little snow is lying.

Tendency

The backcountry touring conditions in the morning, after a clear night, are favourable. As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be an increase in the danger of moist and wet avalanches for a short time.
