Wet-snow avalanches possible at any time of day or night due to a thoroughly wet snowpack
Due to air moisture, danger of wet-snow avalanches rises significantly during the course of the day - to Danger Level 2, Moderate. Wet slab avalanches are possible. Wet-snow avalanches can fracture down to ground level and thus grow to medium size. Runout zones should be avoided.
Overcast skies during the nightttime hours, outgoing longwave radiation is much reduced. The snowpack can freeze only superficially and softens rapidly in early morning. Weather conditions are making the snowpack ever wetter.
On Monday, dense clouds will accumulate from the south, intermittent rainfall and snowfall, but only minor amounts. Southerly winds will be moderate-to-strong. At 2000m: +4 degrees. Source: GeoSphere Austria
Due to rainfall, likelihood of wet-snow avalanches triggering is on the increase
