The danger of wet avalanches will increase during the day. Wind slabs in the high Alpine regions.

As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes below approximately 2600 m. In the afternoon the activity of wet avalanches will increase. In the event of rain this applies in particular. Mostly avalanches are only small. Fresh wind slabs can be released in isolated cases in particular on very steep shady slopes in high Alpine regions. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Mostly avalanches are only small. The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality.

The weather conditions fostered a stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. In some regions a partly clear night. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. The old snowpack is wet. This applies on shady slopes below approximately 2600 m, as well as on sunny slopes below approximately 3000 m. Up to 2400 m and above rain will fall in the afternoon in some localities.

In some regions a partly clear night. The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will soften quickly. The danger of wet avalanches will increase quickly in the early morning. Mostly avalanches are only small.
