Few avalanche prone locations in the high altitudes!

Few avalanche prone locations in the high altitudes!

The avalanche risk is moderate at high altitudes. In the extended northern sector in particular, there are still localised avalanche prone locations, especially adjacent to ridgelines, behind terrain edges and in steep bowls and gullies. Locally, older snowdrift accumulations or weak layers in the old snowpack can still be found in a few places in steep terrain.

The snowpack is predominantly stable, with different characteristics on the surface depending on altitude and aspect, and moist up to high altitudes in the centre. Only at higher altitudes and on shady slopes is the snow base, fundament partially weakened. Low and sunny middle elevations are bare.

Visibility will be mostly good on Tuesday. In addition to scattered cloud cover, the sun will often shine. Fog is hardly a problem. The wind will remain weak. At 1500 metres around 1 degree, at 2000 metres around -3 degrees. On Wednesday, visibility will be good in the morning and the sun will shine. A brisk southerly wind will blow. In the afternoon, a cold front will pass through and cool down. The clouds will quickly thicken. Rain and snow showers will fall. The snowfall level will drop from over 1500 metres to below 1000 metres. Strong winds from the west to northwest. At 1500 m at noon still 6 degrees, at 2000 m 2 degrees.

No significant change for the time being.
