Avalanche Activity

The early morning will see favourable avalanche conditions mostly, but the danger of wet avalanches will increase later.

As the day progresses the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase, in particular on sunny slopes, as well as on very steep east and west facing slopes below approximately 2400 m. In some places avalanches can release the wet snowpack and reach medium size. Backcountry tours should be concluded timely.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack will be stable in the late morning. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced in some case. The surface of the snowpack is frozen, but not to a significant depth and will already soften in the late morning. These weather conditions will bring about a gradual weakening of the snowpack. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year at low and intermediate altitudes.

Tendency

Increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
