New snow and wind slabs represent the main danger. Small to medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are possible.
Increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of new snow and strong wind. The avalanche danger will increase but remain within the current danger level. The wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects above the tree line. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Individual slab avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small, especially in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation especially at elevated altitudes. As a consequence of warming during the day individual small to medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are possible.
Over a wide area 5 to 15 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 1700 m. Over a wide area up to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall on Friday above approximately 1600 m. The wind will transport the new snow. Below approximately 1800 m only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.
The avalanche danger will already increase in the late morning.
