Vicentine Prealps

In some regions up to 15 cm of snow will fall above approximately 2000 m.

In some regions up to 15 cm of snow will fall above approximately 2000 m.

As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be only a slight increase in the danger of wet avalanches. Wet avalanches can in isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant. This applies on very steep shady slopes below approximately 2500 m, as well as on very steep sunny slopes at elevated altitudes. Above approximately 2500 m sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls in northwest to north to northeast facing aspects above approximately 2500 m. Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2500 m. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable. The avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise.

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced at times. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise to rapid softening of the snowpack at intermediate and high altitudes. Shady slopes above approximately 2500 m: Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack at elevated altitudes. On steep sunny slopes as well as below approximately 1800 m hardly any snow is lying. Afternoon: Up to 15 cm of snow will fall above approximately 2000 m, in particular at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions.

Wind slabs and wet snow represent the main danger.
