Lizard-Flathead

Sun and a high freezing level will make wet avalanches the main concern on steep slopes facing the sun.

Expect surfaces to melt and weaken as the freezing level climbs to 2900 m on Sunday. This will occur rapidly on sun-exposed slopes.

Weak layers deeper in the snowpack have shown signs of strengthening and are no longer a concern.
