Avalanche Activity

From the late morning as the penetration by moisture increases there will be a gradual increase in the danger of dry and moist avalanches.

In particular very steep sunny slopes as well as wind-loaded slopes: As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation dry and moist avalanches are possible, even large ones in isolated cases. The danger of moist and wet avalanches will increase during the day. Adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls mostly shallow wind slabs formed. These can as before be released by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. On very steep shady slopes the avalanches can be triggered in deep layers of the snowpack. These can especially at their margins be released by large loads and reach large size in isolated cases.

Snowpack Structure

Above approximately 1400 m snow fell yesterday in some regions. During the night the weather will be partly cloudy in some regions. Also shady slopes, below approximately 2500 m: The weather conditions gave rise to moistening of the snowpack. The surface of the snowpack is frozen, but not to a significant depth and will already soften in the late morning.

Tendency

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced in some case. The surface of the snowpack will soften earlier than the day before. The danger of moist snow slides and avalanches will already increase in the late morning.
