Weak layers in the lower part of the snowpack necessitate caution and restraint. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation the prevalence of avalanche prone locations will increase in the afternoon.
The wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack in particular on steep sunny slopes. These can be released, especially by large additional loads,. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack especially on steep west, north and east facing slopes. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain above approximately 1800 m. A clear night will be followed in the early morning by quite favourable conditions generally, but the avalanche danger will increase later. Moist avalanches can in isolated cases penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach large size in particular on sunny slopes. Backcountry tours and off-piste skiing should be started very early and concluded timely.
The strong wind has transported the fresh and old snow significantly. The snowpack will become well bonded until the early morning. The surface of the snowpack will freeze, but a strong crust will not form and will soften during the day. The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in particular on extremely steep, rather lightly snow-covered shady slopes. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack in particular here.
As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of moist loose snow avalanches being released will increase gradually in particular on rocky sunny slopes below approximately 2500 m.

As a consequence of warming during the day the prevalence of avalanche prone locations will increase from the late morning.
Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack in particular on sunny slopes. These can be released, in particular by large loads and reach medium size. The avalanche prone locations are to be found also at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack above the tree line. This applies in particular on steep shady slopes and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. A clear night will be followed in the early morning by quite favourable conditions generally, but the avalanche danger will increase later. Backcountry tours should be started and concluded early.
The surface of the snowpack will freeze, but a strong crust will not form and will soften during the day. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack in particular in shady places that are protected from the wind. The wind has transported the fresh and old snow significantly. Below approximately 1600 m thus far only a little snow is lying.

Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks. Significant increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
A substantial danger of gliding avalanches exists, in particular below approximately 2600 m on steep grassy slopes. As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of moist avalanches being released will increase on extremely steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m. In addition the older wind slabs on southwest, south and southeast facing slopes are capable of being triggered in very isolated cases still, in particular between approximately 2200 and 2600 m in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow, this applies in particular in case of a large load. The older wind slabs of last week have bonded well with the old snowpack. Very isolated avalanche prone locations are to be found on near-ridge shady slopes in high Alpine regions.
The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will already soften in the late morning. This applies at low altitude as well as on very steep sunny slopes in particular below approximately 2600 m. Faceted weak layers exist in the top section of the old snowpack, in particular on extremely steep sunny slopes between approximately 2200 and 2600 m. No distinct weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack.
The avalanche danger will increase significantly during the day.
