As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be an increase in the danger of wet avalanches. Wet avalanches can in some places be released by a single winter sport participant. This applies on very steep shady slopes below approximately 2500 m, as well as on very steep sunny slopes at elevated altitudes. <br/> <br/> Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2500 m. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable. The avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise to gradual softening of the snowpack below approximately 3000 m. <br/> Steep west, north and east facing slopes: Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack at elevated altitudes. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be good. The backcountry touring conditions in the morning at elevated altitudes are generally favourable. As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be an increase in the danger of wet avalanches. steady 2026-04-17T15:00:00Z 2026-04-18T15:00:00Z 2026-04-17 DP10 DP1 2026-04-16T15:00:00Z 2026-04-16T15:00:00Z 2026-04-17T15:00:00Z false Carnic Alps Lesachtal Gailtal Alps West Carnic Alps Plöckenpass Lienz Dolomites Kreuzeck Group East Tirol Carnic Alps East Tirol low earlier moderate later wet_snow NE W NW E N later poor few 2 loose Wet snow requires caution.

The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes at elevated altitudes. Avalanches can in isolated cases release the saturated snowpack and reach medium size. During the night the weather will be partly cloudy in some regions. The snowpack is wet all the way through and its surface has a melt-freeze crust. The surface of the snowpack will soften quickly. In particular on steep sunny slopes as well as below approximately 1800 m only a little snow is now lying.
