Wet avalanches as the day progresses.

Wet avalanches as the day progresses.

The early morning will see quite favourable conditions mostly. In the late morning as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be a gradual increase in the danger of wet avalanches. On very steep slopes small to medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are to be expected. This applies in particular on east, south and west facing slopes above approximately 2000 m, as well as on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes between approximately 1700 and 2200 m. Wet avalanches can be released by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. Backcountry tours should be concluded timely.

On Friday it will be very mild. The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will soften quickly. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack.

The conditions are spring-like. Increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
