Persistent weak layers
- Above 2,000 m
The danger of Avalanche is low. Be careful in fresh Snowdrift accumulations!
The danger of Avalanche is low. Be careful in fresh Snowdrift accumulations!
Snowpack is mostly stable. In some places in the high alpine regions, especially on fresh drifts of blown snow, a small, clustered Avalanche can be triggered under higher loads.
There is little snow, and the peaks and ridges are in some places blown bare. The Sunny slopes below about 2000 m are also dry. Higher up, there is some new snow on old snow. A crust has formed on the surface of the snowpack, which supports the weight of a pedestrian. In the high alpine regions, weak layers may be present in the old snow cover. Up to 10 cm of dry snow fell on such a surface on Wednesday. It snowed with a strong NE wind which built up small drifts.
On the coastal side of the Alps, it will be sunny in the morning. Elsewhere it will be cloudy and foggy at first, gradually decreasing during the day. It will be around -5 °C at 1500 m and -8 °C above 2000 m. The wind will blow from the NE and weaken during the day.
Friday night will clear everywhere, with sunny and slightly warmer skies on Friday. There will be a stronger E wind. The danger of avalanches will remain similar.
