Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on extremely steep shady slopes and at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. These places are very rare but are difficult to recognise. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. On extremely steep sunny slopes individual mostly small wet avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation, in particular below approximately 2400 m.

The snowpack is favourably layered and its surface has a crust that is strong in many cases, in particular on steep sunny slopes. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to slight moistening of the snowpack. The surface of the snowpack will soften later than the day before. In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack, especially on shady slopes above approximately 2200 m, and on sunny slopes at elevated altitudes. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations above the tree line. At low and intermediate altitudes less snow than usual is lying. On Sunday the wind will be strong in some cases. The wind will transport only a little snow.

The weather will be mild. Slight increase in danger of wet avalanches in the course of the day.
