As a consequence of new snow and wind the prevalence of the avalanche prone locations will increase in the afternoon.

As a consequence of new snow and wind the prevalence of the avalanche prone locations will increase in the afternoon.

As a consequence of new snow and a strong wind from northerly directions, further wind slabs will form in all aspects. The old wind slabs will be covered with new snow in some cases and therefore difficult to recognise. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular at the base of rock walls, and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant. Weak layers exist in the old snowpack on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. Avalanches can be triggered in the old snowpack reach large size in particular on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes.

The small quantity of fresh snow and in particular the wind slabs formed by the strong wind are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack. Individual weak layers exist in the old snowpack especially on shady slopes. Avalanches can in some places be released in deep layers in particular on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to moistening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes.
