In the late morning as a consequence of warming there will be a gradual increase in the danger of moist and wet snow slides. Old wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.

The wind slabs of the last few days are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. The somewhat older wind slabs are to be avoided in particular in very steep terrain, also adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise from early morning to increasing moistening of the snowpack over a wide area in particular on southeast, south and southwest facing slopes. In particular is these aspects individual mostly small moist and wet snow slides are possible as a consequence of warming during the day. Backcountry tours and off-piste skiing should be concluded timely.

The mostly small wind slabs are in some cases still prone to triggering in particular on shady slopes above the tree line. Above approximately 2000 m snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. In all regions below approximately 2000 m only a little snow is lying. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack.

On Sunday it will be partly cloudy. Slight decrease in danger of moist and wet snow slides as the temperature drops.
