Be aware of the persistent weak layer problem!

The avalanche risk is predominantly moderate above 1800 metres. There are still avalanche prone locations on shady slopes in steep terrain. Here and at the transition from little to more snow, isolated slab avalanches can be triggered by mostly large additional loads. Individual spontaneous wet snow avalanches are possible from unloaded steep slopes.

Rain showers and some new fallen snow above around 1200 metres until the afternoon. The new fallen snow will fall on a barely stabilized, partly crusted, otherwise often up to high altitudes moist or wet old snowpack. The snow base, fundament remains high and weakened on the shady slopes due to the kinetic metamorphism. At low altitude or sunny slopes, the snow cover remains bare or slightly "sugared".

The mainly friendly mountain weather will continue on Sunday. A few harmless, high clouds will pass through during the day. Sahara dust is still an issue, visibility is hazy. Weak southerly wind. At 1500 metres around 6 degrees, at 2000 metres around 3 degrees. On Monday, dense clouds and short sunny spells will alternate. Visibility will therefore change: In the morning, visibility will be mostly limited, sunny spells will become more frequent in the afternoon. A noticeable southerly wind will blow at first. Temperatures at 1500 metres will be around 4 degrees, at 2000 metres around 1 degree.

Little change.
