North and center of Aran

On shady slopes a treacherous avalanche situation will persist.

Weakly bonded old snow at high altitude. Wet and gliding avalanches as the day progresses.

Weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack can still be released in some places on steep shady slopes. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls at high altitude. These can in some cases reach large size. Snow profiles and stability tests indicate poor snowpack stability in these regions. Sunny slopes: As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation more frequent moist snow slides and avalanches are to be expected as the day progresses, even medium-sized ones. Also shady slopes low and intermediate altitudes: As the penetration by moisture increases moist slab avalanches are possible, but they can reach medium size. Gliding avalanches are also to be expected at any time. The conditions are sometimes treacherous for backcountry touring.

In particular high altitudes: Distinct weak layers exist in the top section of the snowpack also on wind-protected shady slopes. The weather will be very warm. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack also on shady slopes. At intermediate altitudes there are 120 to 240 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. Snow depths vary greatly at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions, depending on the infuence of the wind.

Wednesday: Hardly any decrease in avalanche danger.
