As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation only isolated mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are possible, in particular on extremely steep sunny slopes. In addition further mostly small gliding avalanches are possible. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep grassy slopes. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be good over a wide area. The surface of the snowpack will soften during the day. Only a little snow is now lying. Below approximately 2000 m: The snowpack is wet all the way through.
