New snow and wind slabs represent the main danger.
The fresh snow and the extensive wind slabs that are forming over a wide area can be released easily or naturally above the tree line. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found also in areas close to the tree line. The off-piste conditions are critical.
Over a wide area 20 to 30 cm of snow will fall in the next few hours. This also applies in areas close to the tree line. The new snow and wind slabs are prone to triggering above the tree line. Large quantities of fresh snow and the wind-drifted snow will be deposited on soft layers on wind-protected shady slopes at elevated altitudes.
The weather effects will prevent a decrease in the avalanche danger.
