Low avalanche danger but isolated danger zones due to fresh snowdrift patches

Monday will be variably cloudy, the sun often impeded by low lying clouds, visibility frequently reduced. In northeastern regions in the morning, light snowfall is possible. Winds will shift to northeasterly, bring still colder air masses our way. Temperatures will drop: at 2000 m to -12 degrees. Strong winds will sharpen the cold, but slacken off starting at midday.

High-pressure front conditions on Tuesday will bring brilliantly sunny weather. Avalanche danger will remain low.

Low avalanche danger but isolated danger zones due to fresh snowdrift patches

Avalanche danger is low. Nevertheless, since Saturday there have been small snowdrift accumulations freshly generated on E/S/W facing slopes which in isolated cases can trigger small slab avalanches. Danger zones occur behind protruberances and at entries into steep slopes, gullies, bowls.

The shift from higher to lower temperatures has stabilized the snowpack. The surface is melt-freeze encrusted, on shady slopes there is pressed powder. Saturday brought a bit of fresh snow and new snowdrift accumulations. Bonding of old snow is generally good, but prone to triggering in isolated cases.
