Avalanche Activity

Mostly favourable conditions throughout the morning hours

Low avalanche danger in the morning. Danger zones for dry snow avalanches mostly in steep shady terrain, caution urged in transtions from shallow to deep snow, e.g. at entries into gullies and bowls. Due to higher temperatures and solar radiation, small-to-medium, in isolated cases also large-sized wet-snow and glide-snow avalanches are possible on very steep sunny slopes during the course of the day.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack is generally well consolidated and stable in the morning. On shady slopes there are weak layers in places. The snowpack loses its firmness during the day on steep sunny slopes and at low altitudes.

Weather Synopsis

Nocturnal hours: the latter part of the night will be star-studded. Tuesday: mostly cloudless skies, brilliant sunshine all day long. Very mild. At 2000 m: +5 degrees. Light to moderate NW winds.

Tendency

Wednesday will have more cloud, diffuse light conditions, mild, very dry air. On sunny slopes, danger of wet-snow avalanches will increase during the day.
