In some regions 10 cm of snow will fall. Hardly any increase in avalanche danger.
In the afternoon mostly small wind slabs will form. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in extremely steep terrain at elevated altitudes and on shady slopes. They are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular in terrain where there is a danger of falling.
Less snow than usual is lying. The old snowpack is largely stable. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Up to 1800 m rain will fall until Thursday over a wide area. Some fresh snow and the mostly small wind slabs that are forming during the snowfall represent the main danger. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack in some cases, in particular at intermediate altitudes.
The avalanche danger will increase but remain within the current danger level.
