Highlights

The weather conditions gave rise to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack. As a consequence of the precipitation the prevalence of the avalanche prone locations will increase as the day progresses.

Avalanche problems

  • New snow

    • Above 1,800 m
  • Wet snow

    • Treeline–1,700 m

Tendency

The weather will be mostly sunny over a wide area.

Snowpack Structure

Over a wide area snowfall above approximately 1800 m. The weather conditions gave rise to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack. In some regions only a little snow is lying on south facing slopes.

Avalanche Activity

The weather conditions gave rise to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack. As a consequence of the precipitation the prevalence of the avalanche prone locations will increase as the day progresses.

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. As a consequence of the precipitation, the likelihood of moist and wet avalanches being released will increase in all aspects in all altitude zones. Moist and wet avalanches are possible as the day progresses, even medium-sized ones. This applies in particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular at the base of rock walls and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls.
