Small wet snow avalanches in snowy places

Small wet snow avalanches in snowy places

The avalanche risk is low. The last remnants of snow can spontaneously descend as small wet snow slides. This increases the risk of avalanches in the fall terrain.

The outgoing longwave radiation at night is poor and the snow cover remains largely isothermal. There is still a little snow in places at altitude, but most of the terrain is already snowed out.

The clouds will thicken during the night. The frost line will be around 2600 metres. Tomorrow, Thursday, there will be mostly dense clouds, especially in the morning, but the sun may appear at times, more often in the afternoon. A few spring clouds will form over the peaks. Light rain showers are possible everywhere in the morning (frost from around 2500 metres). The wind will blow weakly to moderately, in the afternoon partly briskly from north-westerly directions. Temperatures at 2000 m will be around 4 degrees.

Gradual reduction in the avalanche risk as the remaining snow melts and rains away. The night to Friday will be mostly clear.
