Stability: fair · Frequency: few
Slight increase in danger of moist and wet avalanches as a consequence of solar radiation.
Towards its surface, the snowpack is largely stable and its surface has a crust that is strong in many cases. The early morning will see favourable conditions, but the danger of wet avalanches will increase later. Even a small avalanche can sweep snow sport participants along and give rise to falls, in the event of solar radiation caution is to be exercised on very steep slopes. Backcountry tours should be started early and concluded timely.
In some regions in some localities up to 10 cm of snow will fall above approximately 2400 m. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust only at high altitudes and will soften quickly. Below approximately 2000 m hardly any snow is lying.
