Minor wet snow problem!

Minor wet snow problem!

The avalanche risk is subject to slight daytime changes but remains low. Only on steep slopes at higher altitudes with a sufficiently thick snowpack are local, mostly small, sometimes medium wet snow avalanches still possible in all aspects during the day.

Overnight, the snowpack may firm somewhat on the surface under clear skies. However, it is wet up to high altitudes on the inside, otherwise damp and therefore unstable and will continue to break down. Mild temperatures, frequent sunshine and then individual rain showers further destabilise the snowpack. Low and progressively sunny mid-altitude areas are covered in snow.

On Friday, there will be a few clouds and frequent sunshine with good visibility. In the afternoon, more cumulus clouds will develop and visibility may be limited at high altitudes in the Alps. Isolated showers will then also be possible, from around 2200 to 2500 metres as snow. The wind will blow mainly weak to moderate from north-easterly directions. Temperatures will rise to 6 degrees at 1500 metres and 1 to 4 degrees at 2000 metres. On Saturday, the sun will still be shining frequently in the morning, but soon many spring clouds will develop. In the afternoon, there will be a mix of sun and clouds. A few brief rain showers will remain the exception. The wind will be mainly light from north to east. Temperatures will reach 7 degrees at 1500 metres and 3 degrees at 2000 metres.

Little change in the hazard situation at the weekend.
