Persistent weak layers
- All elevations
Low avalanche danger.
The evening and night will bring some snow or rain showers with partly brisk westerly to north-westerly winds from the main Alpine ridge northwards, with only isolated showers to the south. On Friday morning, the last snowfall in the northern Alps will subside in the morning, followed by fairly sunny weather throughout the mountains.
On Saturday, clouds will rapidly gather again from the south-west, with rain and snow in the afternoon. A cold front with strong winds and a drop in temperature will follow in the night to Sunday. An increase in avalanche risk is possible.
Low avalanche danger.
The avalanche danger remains low. Small slab avalanches can be triggered in extremely steep gullies and bowls in isolated places at high altitudes.
There is still little snow. The snowpack is damp or crusted can form in places. In the higher elevations, however, angular snow crystals are still weakening the stability on shady slopes. Above this, in the extended eastern sector, there may also be a thin, bound layer, which in some cases is not well bonded to the old snowpack.
