Small, spontaneous wet snow avalanches during the daytime changes

The avalanche risk is low. In very few places in the terrain, small wet slab avalanches or loose snow avalanches are possible due to additional load or spontaneously. This increases the risk of avalanches in the fall terrain.

There is still snow in shady locations or at high altitudes, but sunny steep terrain often no longer has a large area of continuous snowpack up to at least medium altitudes or is already snowed out. The snow surface is sometimes thinly crusted in the morning and softens quickly in the morning.

In the night to Wednesday, clouds will initially predominate and it will only become partly soft after midnight. During the day, however, the sun will quickly prevail. Cold north/northeasterly winds will pick up and reach gusts of around 40 km/h. At 1500 m -2 to +5 degrees, at 2000 m -5 to 0 degrees.

After a mostly clear night, the crust will soften during the day changes on Thursday.
