As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase in particular on steep slopes at elevated altitudes.
The snowpack is moist and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is strong in many cases. This applies in particular on steep sunny slopes above the tree line. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to a loss of strength within the snowpack over a wide area in particular on very steep sunny slopes.
