Small wet avalanches due to warmth

Small wet avalanches due to warmth

Low avalanche danger prevails for the most part. As a result of rain impact, wet slides and small avalanches are still possible in zones at intermediate and low altitudes which have not yet discharged, as well as small glide-snow avalanches on steep grass-covered slopes.

The shallow snowpack is becoming thoroughly wet up to intermediate altitude, thus forfeiting its firmness. Rain and mild temperatures are improving the snowpack layering. Only little snow lies on the ground. Sunny slopes up to intermediate altitudes are becoming bare of snow.

Saturday night: final rain showers from Rhine Valley into Kleinwalsertal will terminate, then sunshine is on the way. Sunday: sun, and cloudless skies. Brisk W/SW winds, mild air masses. Zero-degree level at 3000 m. At 2000 m: risig from +2 to +7 degrees. Brisk W/SW winds.

Slopes are becoming bare of snow. Only in zones which have not yet discharged, small wet-snow and glide-snow avalanches continue to be possible. Avalanche danger will remain low.
