Wet snow requires caution.
As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase a little. Only isolated wet avalanches are possible. This applies in particular on extremely steep shady slopes. Mostly avalanches are small.
The snowpack will be wet all the way through over a wide area. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust only at high altitudes and will soften quickly. On steep sunny slopes as well as below approximately 1800 m hardly any snow is lying.
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good. The danger of wet avalanches will increase a little during the day.
