Low avalanche danger!

Low avalanche danger!

The avalanche risk is again subject to slight daytime changes but remains low. Only on steep slopes at higher altitudes with a sufficiently thick snowpack are local, mostly small, sometimes medium wet snow avalanches still possible in all aspects during the day.

The snowpack can consolidate on the surface as a result of outgoing longwave radiation at night, and during the day, depending on the aspect and altitude, it will soften and lose firmness again. Inside, it is wet up to high altitudes anyway, otherwise it is damp and therefore unstable and continues to degrade. Milder temperatures and frequent sunshine further destabilise the snowpack. Low and progressively not only sunny mid-altitude locations are covered in snow.

On Saturday morning, high clouds may initially still affect the sunshine, but it will become increasingly sunny with good visibility. In the afternoon, a few cumulus clouds will form, partially impairing visibility. The wind will blow mainly weakly from different directions. The temperature at 1500 metres will be around 7 degrees, at 2000 metres around 4 degrees. On Sunday, clouds will predominate and rain and snow showers will pass through. The snowfall level will drop from around 2100 m to 1800 m during the day. The north-westerly wind will freshen up and bring a cooling, at 1500 m the temperature will drop from 8 to 4 degrees, at 2000 m from 4 to 1 degree.

Moderate avalanche danger due to rain and snow showers.
