Avalanche Activity

Wet snow requires caution.

As a consequence of warming during the day, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase. This applies in all aspects. Avalanches are rather small but can be released by a single winter sport participant. Avalanches can in very isolated cases release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach medium size.

Snowpack Structure

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted at times. The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will already be soft in the early morning. The weather conditions gave rise to thorough wetting of the snowpack.

Tendency

As a consequence of the rain, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase a little.
