Low avalanche danger, moist slides and glide-snow avalanches

Low avalanche danger, moist slides and glide-snow avalanches

Avalanche danger is low. Moist slides and small-to-medium glide-snow avalanches can trigger on steep grass-covered slopes, in forest clearances and hillsides which have not yet discharged. Caution below glide cracks. In extremely steep terrain, isolated small avalanches can be triggered. Beware the risks of taking a fall.

The old snowpack is generally compactd and stable despite rain impact, and wet down to the ground up to high altitudes. On high-altitude steep shady slopes, isolated small snowdrifts have persisted. Low altitude slopes are bare of snow.

Nocturnal hours: Showers will taper off, fog and residual clouds will persist, dispersing towards early morning. Sunday daytime: Intermittent sunshine in the morning, clouds will then move in. Towards evening, snowfall above 1800 m. At 2000 m: 3 degrees. Light-to-moderate westerly winds.

Monday will be overcast and wet, fresh snowfall above 1600-1800 m. Rain impact will deteriorate the snowpack further. Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly in the Prealps. Wet slides and glide-snow avalanches are still possible.
