Eastern Carniche Alps

The wind slabs remain for the foreseeable future prone to triggering. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses.

The wind slabs remain for the foreseeable future prone to triggering. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses.

The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In addition the easily released wind slabs must be taken into account. In particular at intermediate and high altitudes the avalanches can penetrate even deep layers and reach very large size in some cases. As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be a gradual increase in the danger of moist and wet avalanches. The avalanches can be released by small loads.

As a consequence of the wind, fresh snow drift accumulations formed during the last few days. Precarious weak layers exist in the snowpack. In many places there is a danger of falling on the hard crust. The weather conditions will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack.

The weather will be sunny at times. Over a wide area warming.
