The fresh snow and the mostly small wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence. Avalanches can in isolated cases be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. As a consequence of warming during the day individual mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are possible.

Shady slopes: Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. This applies especially above the tree line. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced. The weather conditions during the course of the night gave rise to slight moistening of the snowpack. In some localities in some regions 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall during the night, especially above approximately 1800 m.

Fresh wind slabs are in some cases still prone to triggering in particular on steep shady slopes. The avalanche danger will decrease gradually.
