Top springtime conditions in early hours, daytime cycle below 2400m

Avalanche danger in the morning is LOW at all altitudes, then increases due to loss of snowpack firmness to MODERATE below 2400m. On sun-drenched steep slopes from late morning, naturally triggered or skier-triggered small-to-medium wet loose-snow avalanches are possible, mostly in extremely steep terrain. Glide-snow avalanches (medium-to-isolated-large sized) in very steep grass-covered terrain are possible at any time of day or night, though the likelihood is greatest in afternoon and in evening. Heed glide cracks.

The snowpack is capable of bearing loads to start with. During the course of the day it softens at varying speed depending on aspect and gradient, and to varying depth. On sunny slopes it becomes slushy and fracturing down to the ground is possible in places.

On Monday, unimpaired sunshine in the morning. In the afternoon, some convective cloud build-up, the peaks will remain free. Winds will be blowing at moderate strength from northerly directions. At 2000 m: 4 degrees; at 3000 m: -3 degrees. Noctural skies on Monday night will be clear. On Tuesday, increasingly heavy cloud cover will move in over the summits, creating diffuse light conditions. Sunshine will be rare. It will remain dry for the most part. Winds will remain light. At 2000 m: 3 degrees; at 3000 m: -5 degrees.

Little change, although clouds will pass through and delay transformation to firn snow.
