Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced in some case. In the regions where the outgoing longwave radiation during the night is reduced the danger will increase more quickly. The wind slabs remain for the foreseeable future prone to triggering.

As a consequence of the wind, fresh snow drift accumulations formed during the last few days. Precarious weak layers exist in the snowpack. In many places there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. The weather conditions will give rise to thorough wetting of the snowpack.
Over a wide area warming. The weather will be mostly sunny.
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced in some case. In the regions where the outgoing longwave radiation during the night is reduced the danger will increase more quickly. The wind slabs remain for the foreseeable future prone to triggering.
The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In addition the easily released wind slabs must be taken into account. As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be a gradual increase in the danger of moist and wet avalanches. In particular at intermediate and high altitudes the avalanches can penetrate even deep layers. Gliding avalanches can also occur. The avalanches can be released by small loads.
