Hardly any snow and low avalanche danger.

Hardly any snow and low avalanche danger.

The avalanche risk is low. The risk of stones and slipping on icy surfaces is higher than the risk of burial. Terrain traps are less full due to a lack of snow and are therefore more effective.

Where there is still snow, the snowpack is moist to wet due to sunlight, depending on the altitudes, and closes with a melt-freeze crust that forms a steep sunny slope during the day, but otherwise often remains hard and icy. Edged persistent weak layers weaken the snow base, fundament if present.

The night will start out clear, but in the second half of the night denser cloud fields will move in from the south. On Saturday, extensive high cloud fields will cover the sky and the sun will only rarely appear. The wind will be mostly light. At 2000 metres the temperature will be -5 to -2 degrees, at 3000 metres around -8 degrees.

No significant change in avalanche danger.
