Low avalanche danger, wet slides and glide-snow avalanches

On Wednesday, tranquil weather, lots of sunshine, mild. Danger of dry-snow avalanches will recede further. Danger of wet-snow avalanches will increase during the course of the day. Main problem: wet-snow and glide-snow avalanches, possible often.

Low avalanche danger, wet slides and glide-snow avalanches

Avalanche danger is low. Moist slides and small-to-medium glide-snow avalanches can trigger on steep grass-covered slopes, in forest clearances and hillsides which have not yet discharged. Caution below glide cracks. In extremely steep terrain, isolated small avalanches can be triggered. Beware the risks of taking a fall. In high-altitude ridgeline terrain the fresh drifts are prone to triggering.

The old snowpack is generally compact and stable despite rain impact, and wet down to the ground up to high altitudes. Where there is rain impact, loss of firmness, on steep shady slopes at high altitudes there are still snowdrift accumulations. Snow depths have deteriorated. Low altitude slopes are bare of snow.

Nocturnal hours: Showers will taper off, residual clouds persist, dispersing in the latter part of the night. Tuesday daytime: Residual clouds and fog will disperse, pleasant conditions with sunshine, cirrus clouds and some convective cloud build-up in afternoon At 2000 m:-2 to +4 degrees. Light W/NW winds.
