Small wet snow avalanches in snowy places

Small wet snow avalanches in snowy places

The avalanche risk is low. Small, spontaneous wet snow slides can occur from slopes that have not yet been discharged in all aspects. Wet snow slides triggered by winter sports increase the risk of entrainment in the fall terrain.

The outgoing longwave radiation at night is poor and the snow cover remains largely moistened to isothermal due to the warmth. In places, you can still find small pillows of wind drifted snow adjacent to ridgelines, but most of the terrain is already tapped out.

Tonight, light rain showers may still pass through, after midnight dry weather will prevail, but the clouds will remain quite dense. Temperatures at 2000 metres around +1 degree. Tomorrow, Sunday, sun and clouds will alternate, so visibility will vary. In the afternoon, some additional spring clouds will appear, which may shroud higher peaks in fog at times. Isolated showers will be the exception and it will remain mostly free of precipitation. Temperatures at 2000 metres between 5 and 9 degrees.

Slow reduction in avalanche danger due to melting of the remaining snow.
