Low risk of isolated wet snow avalanches

Low risk of isolated wet snow avalanches

The avalanche risk is low. In exceptional cases, small snow slabs can still be triggered in the entrance areas of steep gullies on the shady slopes with a large additional load. The risk of being swept away and falling on icy surfaces generally outweighs the risk of burial.

Low and sunny mid-altitude areas are snowed out. Where present, the snowpack is moist to wet and well-set right up to the summit areas. During the partly cloudy night, only a thin melt-freeze crust forms, which softens again during the day. In the higher areas on shady slopes, there are still weak layers of large faceted crystals in the lower part of the snowpack, especially close to the ground.

The night will begin mostly starry, with more clouds generally gathering from the west in the second half of the night. On Saturday, high cloud fields will pass through, occasionally shading out the sunshine. There will be moderate winds from southerly to westerly directions. Towards the evening, unproductive precipitation will set in. Temperatures at 2000 metres between -1 and +2 degrees.

There is unproductive precipitation. The avalanche danger does not change significantly.
