Avalanche Activity

A lot of rain will fall. As the penetration by moisture increases natural avalanches are possible at any time.

Especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large natural avalanches are to be expected as the penetration by moisture increases. This applies in particular in case of releases originating from very steep starting zones that still retain some snow. In some cases, the avalanches can reach areas without any snow cover in steep gullies. The conditions are unfavourable for backcountry touring.

Snowpack Structure

A lot of rain will fall. The weather conditions will give rise to extreme and thorough wetting of the snowpack in all aspects. This situation will give rise to a loss of strength within the snowpack especially on west, north and east facing slopes.

Tendency

With the end of the intense precipitation, the natural activity of wet avalanches will decrease. As the temperature drops there will be a decrease in the danger of wet avalanches within the current danger level.
