Afternoon: Gradual increase in avalanche danger. New snow and wind slabs represent the main danger.

The soft wind slabs are mostly small and in some cases prone to triggering. The weather will be mild. Midday and afternoon: Over a wide area over a wide area 15 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 1800 m. As a consequence of a strong wind from westerly directions, sometimes large wind slabs will form above the tree line. These can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases in particular on very steep north, east and south facing slopes. In particular at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. Slab avalanches are possible in the evening, in particular medium-sized ones.

5 to 10 cm of snow fell on Friday above approximately 2000 m. The covering of new snow is soft. The upper section of the snowpack is largely stable and its surface consists of loosely bonded snow lying on a crust. Individual weak layers exist in the snowpack on steep, little used shady slopes. Towards its base, the snowpack is well consolidated.

Sunday: The weather will be mild. Evening and night: Down to intermediate altitudes snow will fall.
