Avalanche danger is predominantly low. Isolated danger zones occur particularly in extremely steep terrain. Small avalanche triggerings are mostly possible in relatively shallow-snow areas and in transitions from shallow to deep snow. Beware the danger of sliding and falling on hard-frozen steep slopes. During the course of the day, likelihood of naturally triggered small-sized avalanches increases somewhat on sun-basked, very steep slopes.

Following a night of clear skies and good longwave outgoing radiation, the snowpack is well consolidated and stable. Generally there is a melt-freeze crust capable of bearing loads, which softens up during the daytime hours, particularly at low altitudes and on sunny slopes. No further triggerings in older weak layers of the snowpack were registered in recent days at the Avalanche Warning Service.

Far above summit level, clouds will move in, hampering sunshine measurably, although visibility will remain good. Temperature at 2000m: -2 to +3 degrees; at 3000m: -4 degrees. Light-to-moderate southerly winds at high altitudes, brisker on the foehn-exposed mountains.

Continuing favorable conditions, no significant change anticipated
