Moderate danger of wet avalanches will be encountered over a wide area.

Moderate danger of wet avalanches will be encountered over a wide area.

As a consequence of warming more frequent wet avalanches are to be expected from the early morning, even medium-sized ones. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep slopes of all aspects. Wet avalanches can also release deeper layers of the snowpack, especially on steep north facing slopes at high altitude. The runout zones of avalanches are to be treated with caution.

The rain gave rise on Friday to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack over a wide area. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced. The surface of the snowpack will freeze very little and will soften quickly. The high temperatures will give rise to a loss of strength within the snowpack.
