Rhemes Valley

As a consequence of new snow and wind the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses. Gradual increase in avalanche danger. 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until Thursday above approximately 2000 m.

Strong westerly wind: In the course of the day sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs will form above approximately 2000 m. In particular on steep slopes medium-sized dry and moist avalanches are possible as the precipitation becomes more intense, in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The fresh snow and the wind slabs that are forming over a wide area will be deposited on surface hoar in some places on wind-protected shady slopes above the tree line. Mostly the avalanches in these loacations are shallow and can be released by a single winter sport participant.

Up to 1900 m rain will fall until Thursday over a wide area. The fresh snow and the wind slabs that are forming during the snowfall represent the main danger. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack in some cases, in particular at intermediate altitudes. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Less snow than usual is lying.

The new snow and wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack in all aspects. The avalanche danger will increase but remain within the current danger level.
