Moderate dangaer of naturally triggered glide-snow/wet-snow avalanches

Avalanche danger is moderate. Main danger: glide-snow/wet-snow avalanches, possible at any time on very steep slopes and can plummet down to slopes bare of snow on the ground.

The snowpack has used up all its reserves of cold up to summit levels in all aspects, is isotherm and moist. Loss of stabilty inside the snowpack or down to the ground will increase as rainfall sets in as of midday. Snow depths will recede further, a cohesive snowpack exists only at high altitudes.

Starting on Monday, instable conditions, a cold front from the northwest will increase cloud cover and make temperatures drop. In early morning: +8 degrees at 2000 m; in evening: +4 degrees in the north, +6 degrees in the south. In the northern ranges, showers are possible as of midday, in the south it will remain sunnier for longer and dry until evening. Stormy W/SW winds. Snowfall level on Monday over 2000 m, temperatures will drop on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, gray and wet all day long, the peaks often in fog. In southern regions rainfall will be stronger, snowfall down to below 1000 m. At 2000 m: -4 degrees in evening. Stormy NW winds will generate new snowdrifts.
