Over a wide area 40 cm of snow, and up to 60 cm in some localities, will fall above approximately 1800 m. Gradual increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of the snowfall.

Considerable avalanche danger will prevail. Heavy precipitation. As a consequence of new snow and strong wind avalanches are possible as the day progresses, even quite large ones. The avalanche prone locations are to be found at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The new snow and wind slabs can be released easily or naturally in all aspects. Gliding avalanches can also occur.

Over a wide area 30 to 50 cm of snow will fall until the evening above approximately 1700 m. The wind will be strong. The new snow is bonding poorly with the old snowpack. The fresh snow and the wind slabs that are being formed by the wind will be deposited on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Individual weak layers exist in the old snowpack in the vicinity of peaks. The sleet will give rise in the late morning to moistening of the snowpack below approximately 1700 m. The fresh wind slabs are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility.

5 cm of snow will fall on Friday.
