Fischbach Alps East, Wechsel

Little new fallen snow.

Beware of wind slabs above the tree line! Spontaneous wet snow slides possible at lower altitudes.

The avalanche risk is moderate above the tree line and low below. Avalanche prone locations are slopes with a northeast to east to south aspect. Caution is advised behind terrain edges and in entrances to gullies and bowls. In a few places, medium-sized slab avalanches can be triggered by individuals. At lower elevations, spontaneous wet snow slides and gliding avalanches can occur on steep grassy slopes.

In the aspects from north-east to east to south, snowdrift accumulations can still be found, some of which lie on a weak layer of surface hoar or faceted crystals. The snow base, fundament is crusted. At lower elevations, the snow becomes moist and loses firmness. On steep meadow slopes, the snow can begin to glide snow.

The regions south of the main Alpine ridge will remain weather-favoured and no precipitation is expected. The sun will be increasingly visible during the day. It is generally quite mild, with temperatures between -1 degree and +1 degree at 2000 metres above sea level. The wind is blowing briskly from the north-west.

Clouds will increase again on Tuesday, but hardly any precipitation is expected south of the main Alpine ridge. It will remain relatively mild. The risk of avalanches will decrease slightly.
