Increase in danger of moist and wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of moist and wet avalanches being released will increase in particular on very steep sunny slopes below approximately 3000 m. They can penetrate deep layers and reach large size in isolated cases. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases and mostly by large additional loads, in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2500 m and on very steep west and east facing slopes. Avalanches can in some cases reach medium size.

Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack especially on little used west, north and east facing slopes. This applies on shady slopes above approximately 2500 m. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Below the tree line a little snow is lying.

The avalanche danger will persist.
