Weakly bonded old snow is to be evaluated with care and prudence.

Weakly bonded old snow is to be evaluated with care and prudence.

In some places avalanches can be triggered in the faceted old snow and reach medium size, especially on very steep north facing slopes above approximately 2200 m, as well as on very steep east and west facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. Caution is to be exercised at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. In addition the somewhat older wind slabs at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions are capable of being triggered in isolated cases still. As the day progresses the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase a little.

Faceted weak layers exist in the old snowpack, especially on north facing slopes above approximately 2200 m, as well as on east and west facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. The old wind slabs are in individual cases still prone to triggering at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced in some case. The surface of the snowpack is frozen, but not to a significant depth and will soften during the day. The weather conditions will bring about a slight weakening of the snowpack as the day progresses.

Monday: Slight increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
