Low risk of isolated wet snow avalanches

Low risk of isolated wet snow avalanches

The avalanche risk is low. Small, spontaneous wet snow avalanches are possible on the few sunny slopes that have not yet been discharged in the afternoon hours. In addition, small snow slabs can still be triggered occasionally in the entrance areas of gullies and bowls on the shady slopes, but usually only with a large additional load.

The snowpack is moist to wet and well settled right up to the summit areas. The snow surface can cool down well overnight and crust can form, but on the sunny slopes it softens again during the day. In the higher on shady slopes, there are still weak layers of large faceted crystals in the lower part of the snowpack, especially near the ground. Low and sunny mid-altitude areas are snowed out.

The night will be cloudless for long stretches. Temperatures during the night at 2000 metres: -1 to +3 degrees. On Sunday, we can expect almost bright sunshine at first. During the day, high cloud fields will move in, which may cloud the sky a little in addition to the Sahara dust. In the afternoon, temperatures at 2000 m will be between +1 and +4 degrees.

Monday night will be cloudy to very cloudy and the temperature will only drop by a few degrees during the night. The snow surface will crust can form less well.
