Middle Lys Valley

The weather will be cloudy in some regions. Wet snow represents the main danger.

The weather will be cloudy in some regions. Wet snow represents the main danger.

In some regions light snowfall at intermediate altitudes. The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze. The spring-like weather conditions will give rise to thorough wetting of the snowpack, in the event of prolonged bright spells especially in steep rocky terrain. Wet avalanches can sometimes be released by a single winter sport participant. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. In starting zones where no previous releases have taken place and at intermediate and high altitudes individual medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large moist and wet avalanches are possible. These can also be released in near-ground layers. Individual gliding avalanches can also occur, in particular on very steep grassy slopes. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible.

Night: Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced. Sunday: Sunshine and high temperatures gave rise from the middle of the day to rapid moistening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes below approximately 3500 m. The spring-like weather conditions gave rise to rapid settling of the snowpack in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. Above approximately 2300 m a lot of snow is lying. In the last few days on very steep slopes further medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large avalanches were reported.

The weather will be cloudy. Light snowfall. Gradual decrease in danger of moist and wet avalanches as the temperature drops.
