Border Graie Alps

A clear night will be followed in the early morning by quite favourable conditions over a wide area, but the danger of wet avalanches will increase later. Old wind slabs above approximately 3000 m.

A clear night will be followed in the early morning by quite favourable conditions over a wide area, but the danger of wet avalanches will increase later. Old wind slabs above approximately 3000 m.

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent from midday. In particular at intermediate and high altitudes and on steep sunny slopes medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are possible as the moisture increases. In addition the mostly small wind slabs of last week especially at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions are capable of being triggered in isolated cases still. Backcountry tours should be started and concluded early.

In particular below approximately 2800 m,: The snowpack will be generally well bonded. In some cases new snow and wind slabs are lying on the smooth surface of an old snowpack, in particular on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 3000 m. Below approximately 2000 m a little snow is lying.

The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften earlier than the day before.
