Weather Forecast

The first half of the night will be starry, but after midnight denser cloud fields will move through from the north. On Thursday, it will be partly cloudy from the morning onwards, the sun will only appear temporarily, but the peaks will remain clear and it will stay dry. Moderate to brisk winds from north-west to north in the summit area. It will cool down a little, with a maximum of 2 degrees at 2000 metres.

Tendency

A disturbance zone will bring precipitation (snowfall level at around 1800 metres) and wind on Friday. Fresh wind slab will develop in the summit areas. There will be little change to the danger scale.

Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger, isolated avalanche prone locations for wet avalanches.

The avalanche risk is low. Isolated wet avalanches can still be triggered by individuals in sunny slopes that have not yet discharged. The probability of triggering increases slightly during the daytime changes. Gliding avalanches may also occur occasionally.

Snowpack Structure

Overnight the snow surface can form a crust, during the day the melt-freeze crust partially softens again on the sunny slopes. Underneath, the snowpack is moist to wet right down to the ground.
