Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good. Gradual increase in danger of moist and wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day.

The early morning will see quite favourable conditions generally, but the avalanche danger will increase later. As a consequence of warming and solar radiation, the activity of moist and wet avalanches will increase. (--), especially on steep sunny slopes, as well as on shady slopes at intermediate altitudes. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions and in starting zones where no previous releases have taken place more medium-sized natural avalanches are possible. The older wind slabs can still be released in some cases in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2700 m, especially at their margins. Backcountry tours should be started and concluded early.

The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will soften during the day, especially on sunny slopes and at intermediate and high altitudes. Below approximately 2000 m hardly any snow is lying.
