Stability: poor · Frequency: some
Wet and gliding avalanches require caution.
On extremely steep slopes individual small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized wet loose snow avalanches are possible. In addition individual gliding avalanches are possible. This applies in particular in the regions with a lot of snow.
The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will soften quickly. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Below the tree line only a little snow is now lying.
Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to softening of the snowpack.
