Few danger zones for glide-snow avalanches

Few danger zones for glide-snow avalanches

Avalanche danger is low, mostly from glide-snow avalanches which can release at any time of day or night but remain usually small. Fresh snowdrift accumulations in high altitude ridgeline terrain are small, can trigger a small slab. Danger of falling outweighs that of snow masses.

Atop bare ground or a thoroughly wet snowpack with melt-freeze crust there are a few cm of fresh snow deposited.

Nighttime skies are mostly cloudy, snow showers only isolated, the NW winds will be strong. On Wednesday, most peaks hidden in fog, repeated bouts of snowfall, reinforced by showers bringing varying amounts of fresh snow, all in all 10 cm is expected. Visibility mostly reduced. The NW winds will reach 60 km/hr, then slacken off later in the day. At 2000 m: -6 degrees.

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
