Caution: trigger-sensitive weak layers on steep shady slopes and danger of wet-snow and glide-snow avalanches

Main danger: weak layers inside the old snowpack. Danger zones occur mostly in wind-loaded high-altitude shady steep terrain, behind abrupt discontinuities in the terrain and in gullies and bowls. Naturally triggered avalanches are possible on very steep slopes. As a result of daytime warming and solar radiation, wet loose-snow avalanches are possible on very steep sunny slopes. On steep grass-covered slopes glide-snow avalanches are possible.

Good nocturnal outgoing radiation, the snowpack can re-freeze, then soften during the daytime hours. On sunny slopes the snowpack is thoroughly wet up to intermediate altitudes. On high altitude shady slopes there are trigger-sensitive layers embedded which are still prone to triggering. At low altitudes there is little snow on the ground.

Scattered clouds during the night will not prevent outgoing radiation. Tuesday will be sunny with good visibility. Winds light to moderate, the zero-degree level at 2600m. Clouds will appear in the evening from the west. At 2000 m: +5 degrees. Light to moderate westerly winds.
