The avalanche risk is predominantly low. At altitudes and on slopes with a sufficiently thick snowpack, localised wet snow avalanches are possible during the day in all aspects from undischarged areas, some of which can reach medium size.

The snow surface can hardly firmness overnight. Short rain showers at night and during the day bring further moisture penetration. The snowpack is wet up to high altitudes in the centre, otherwise damp and therefore unstable. Only high up and on shady slopes can there still be isolated weak layers in the old snowpack. Low and sunny slopes in the middle are bare.

On Tuesday, dense clouds with occasional rain will predominate and visibility will often be limited in high alpine terrain. The snowfall level will mostly be between 1900 and 2100 metres above sea level. The wind will blow weakly to moderately from the west. At 1500 m 6 degrees, at 2000 m around 3 degrees. Wednesday will start mostly dry, but often cloudy. During the day, the sun will shine through more frequently and visibility will improve in the high alpine regions. Occasional rain showers will become noticeable in the afternoon, snow will fall above 2000 metres. The wind will be light. At 1500 m around 7 degrees, at 2000 m around 3 degrees.

No significant change.
