Wet snow represents the main danger. Wind slabs in the high Alpine regions.

Wet avalanches can as before be released by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes below approximately 2600 m. Avalanches can release the saturated snowpack and reach medium size. Some rain will fall during the night in some regions. As a consequence of the rain, the likelihood of avalanches being released will increase. The wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases in particular on very steep shady slopes in high Alpine regions. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found adjacent to ridgelines.

Over a wide area an overcast night. The old snowpack is wet. This applies on shady slopes below approximately 2600 m, as well as on sunny slopes below approximately 3000 m. Up to intermediate altitudes rain will fall over a wide area. Above approximately 2400 m snow will fall. High Alpine regions: Wind slabs are lying on soft layers on very steep shady slopes.

Up to high altitudes rain will fall over a wide area. Over a wide area up to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 2200 m. The surface of the snowpack is not frozen and will already be soft in the early morning.
