Wet-snow activity will increase during the course of the day

Avalanche danger below 3000m will increase from low to moderate during the course of the day, esp. below 3000m small (in very isolated cases medium-sized) wet-snow avlanches can trigger naturally or be triggered by persons. From 2600-3000m esp. on north-facing slopes,isolated wet slab avalanches are possible and can reach medium size. Also isolated small-to-medium glide-snow avalanches are possible.

The by and large compact but far below-average snowpack is moist/wet up to 2800-3200m. The snowpack on sunny slopes is thoroughly wet up to about 3000m, on steep north-facing slopes up to 2600m. The melt-freeze crust in early morning is usually capable of bearing loads, but rapidly softens due to higher daytime temperatures and solar radiation.

Nocturnal skies will be predominantly clear and with light winds, final showers and convective clouds will collapse. On Thursday, lots of sunshine and good visibility. Starting at midday, convective cloud build-up, visibility will be reduced only at highest altitudes. Shower and thunderstorm risks are low. Winds will be light from northerly direction. At 2000m: 9-13 degrees; at 3000m: 1 degree. Skies on Thursday night will be predominantly clear.

Little change is anticipated. Also in the next few days, beware the daytime danger cycle.
