Low risk of isolated wet snow avalanches

Low risk of isolated wet snow avalanches

The avalanche risk is low. Small spontaneous wet snow avalanches are still possible in the afternoon on the few sunny slopes that have not yet been discharged. In addition, small snow slabs can still be triggered occasionally in the entrance areas of gullies and bowls on the shady slopes, but usually only with a large additional load.

The snowpack is moist to wet and well settled right up to the summit areas. The snow surface can cool down well overnight and crust can form, but on the sunny slopes it softens again during the day. In the higher on shady slopes, there are still weak layers of large faceted crystals in the lower part of the snowpack, especially near the ground. Low and sunny mid-altitude areas are snowed out.

Friday night will be mostly clear, with shallow fog forming in the northern lowlands and some valleys. On Friday, it will be very sunny again with good visibility, even if a little more high cloud and dust will spoil the sunshine somewhat. There will be a weak to moderate easterly wind. At 2000 metres it will be 2 to 5 degrees.

No change in avalanche danger. Weak daytime changes in wet snow avalanche activity.
