Isolated naturally triggered glide-snow avalanches in steep terrain

Isolated naturally triggered glide-snow avalanches in steep terrain

Avalanche danger is generally low. On steep slopes in all aspects, isolated naturally triggered glide-snow and wet-snow avalanches can be expected. Open glide cracks are indicators of imminent danger.

The snowpack fundament is stable, persistent weak layer on shady slopes. On sunny slopes the snowpack is isotherm and moist, on shady slopes at high altitudes there are still reserves of cold. In steep terrain on smooth ground the snowpack glides over the ground at high altitudes. An area-wide snowpack exists only above the treeline.

On Wednesday, weather conditions will improve, temperatures rise, winds shift to westerly, clouds will pass through but mostly be no hindrance. Otherwise it will be sunny, moderate winds, brisk in the NE ranges, from W/NW. At 2000 m: 0 degrees.

Thursday will bring overcast skies, intensifying winds, but no precipitation. Avalanche danger will remain low.
