Avalanche Activity
Wet-snow problem & persistent weak layer in high alpine regions
Avalanche danger is LOW. Due to rain seepage into the snowpack, naturally triggered wet loose-snow avalanches and isolated glide-snow avalanches are possible. Most remain small, but some can grow to medium size.
Snowpack Structure
A string of spring days has hastened the snow’s disappearance from the slopes. The snowpack is 0-degree isotherm and is being further burdened by rainfall.
Weather Synopsis
Thursday night skies will be heavily overcast, rainfall will spread starting in the early morning hours. On Friday, repeated bouts of rainfall, visibility often reduced, though short bright intervals are possible from place to place. The northerly winds will reach windspeeds of 50 km/hr. At 2000 m: +4 degrees. On Saturday, initially heavy residual rain clouds with rain/snow showers (snowfall level 1200m). Temperatures will drop. At 2000m: -3 degrees.
Tendency
On Saturday despite lower temperatures the wet-snow problem will persist wherever there is sufficient snow on the ground.
