Pay attention to the wet snow problem!

Pay attention to the wet snow problem!

The avalanche risk is predominantly moderate at altitudes where there is still a sufficiently thick snowpack. From steep terrain that has not yet been discharged, spontaneous or moist to wet medium loose snow or slab avalanches triggered by additional load are possible in all aspects.

With only limited outgoing longwave radiation, the snow surface can hardly firmness. With the mild temperatures and incoming radiation, it loses firmness during the day. The snowpack is moist to wet up to high altitudes.

On Sunday, sun and clouds will alternate, so visibility will vary to some extent. In the afternoon, some spring clouds will also appear, which may temporarily shroud higher peaks in fog. As a result, one or two showers cannot be completely ruled out. Sahara dust will also make visibility more diffuse. The wind will be mainly weak. At 1500 metres around 11 degrees, at 2000 metres around 7 degrees. On Monday, sunshine and extensive cloud fields will alternate, with one or two hours of sunshine everywhere. Lively to strong winds from the east to south-east will repeatedly freshen up, making it slightly foehn-like. Temperatures will change little.

No significant change in the avalanche situation.
