Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation more mostly small wet loose snow slides are possible below approximately 2600 m. This applies in particular on extremely steep sunny slopes. The more recent wind slabs are now only very rarely prone to triggering. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on extremely steep shady slopes in high Alpine regions. Avalanches are small.

Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to increasing softening of the snowpack in particular on steep sunny slopes. These conditions will cause a weakening of the near-surface layers as the day progresses. The weather conditions fostered a stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations.

As the temperature drops there will be a decrease in the danger of wet snow slides.
