Avalanche Activity

As the snowfall becomes more intense the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase from the early morning.

In the regions exposed to precipitation the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses. In particular on very steep slopes more frequent medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large moist and wet avalanches are possible as a consequence of the precipitation. Individual weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Avalanches can in isolated cases be triggered in the old snowpack and reach quite a large size.

Snowpack Structure

Over a wide area 30 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 2400 m. Above approximately 1900 m snow will fall until Thursday. Over a wide area new snow is lying on a moist old snowpack. The sleet will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack in particular at intermediate and high altitudes. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the snowpack at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Below approximately 2000 m a little snow is lying.

Tendency

Persistent snowfall to intermediate altitudes. As the precipitation becomes more intense there will be a gradual increase in the avalanche danger.
