Isolated small spontaneous loose and wet-snow avalanches in the afternoon.

The avalanche danger is assessed as low. The few danger spots are located above 2000m in extremely steep, north-facing slopes and gullies that have not yet been unloaded. Spontaneous loose and wet-snow avalanches cannot be ruled out there.

The snowcover is isothermal and till high altitudes wet or moist. On southern exposed slopes the snow has almost fully retreated and the retreatment increases. On the sunny sides the snow has already retreated over 2000m.

On Tuesday morning the weather remains stable with sunny sections. From noon showers are to be expected. The snow fall level will be at 2500m. Temperatures in 2000m are around +5 degrees. The wind blows weakly.

The weather is unsettled on Wednesday. Rain showers appear from time to time, but it remains mild. No significant change of the avalanche danger.
