Wet-snow danger in very steep terrain where there is still lots of snow

Wet-snow danger in very steep terrain where there is still lots of snow

As a result of little fresh snowfall and wind, small snowdrift accumulations were generated locally at high altitudes. During the daytime hours, wet-snow avalanche danger will increase somewhat. Winter sports enthusiasts can trigger isolated wet-snow slab avalanches in very steep terrain. Danger zones occur mostly in summit zones. Avalanches remain mostly medium-sized. Glide-snow avalanches can trigger in steep snowy terrain which has not yet discharged over smooth underground in all aspects.

In evening hours, outgoing radiation will be limited but become better during nocturnal house. Due to mild temperatures, the snowpack continues to become thoroughly wet. The snowpack is thoroughly wet up to summit zones in all aspects. Lower altitudes are bare of snow. Sunny slopes are becoming bare of snow up to high altitudes.

Still unstable conditions, residual clouds will occasionally make room for sunshine, but convective cloud build-up will generate a few minor showers. Snowfall level: around 1600m. Temperature at 2000m: 0 degrees; at 3000m: -7 degrees. Brisk westerly-to-northwesterly winds at high altitudes.

Over the next few days, conditions will improve due to good nighttime outgoing longwave radiation beneath clear skies. During daytime hours, danger of wet-snow avalanches will increase.
