In the early part of the night, intensive precipitation is anticipated
over widespread areas. Subsequently as northerly winds arise, the
precipitation will come to an end in the southern regions. In the
remaining regions of Switzerland the precipitation will continue. The
snowfall level will rapidly descend to approximately 1200 m in the
northern regions, to 1600 m in the southern regions. During the daytime
it will be quite sunny in the southern regions. On the northern flank of
the Alps and in Grisons, approximately 20 to 40 cm of fresh snow is
expected. However, these prognosticated amounts of fresh snow are
uncertain.
The danger of dry-snow avalanches will increase over
widespread areas, particularly at heightened altitudes. Wet-snow and
gliding avalanches continue to be possible.
