The danger of wet-snow and glide-snow avalanches is a threat already in early morning. In particular in high alpine regions, snowdrift accumulations are being generated which are prone to triggering. The daily publication of avalanche bulletins has ended for the season. Further information will follow only in extraordinary situations.

Skies: cloudless or only scattered clouds. The zero-degree level will ascend to 3500-3700m. Southerly winds will be moderate to brisk, intensify to strong velocity on Sunday evening, increase still further on Sunday night, reaching storm velocity. Temperature at 2000 m: +8 to +12 degrees. Brisk southerly winds increasing gradually to storm strength. Snow cover / General info The snowpack in early morning is capable of bearing loads, particularly at high altitude. Due to extremely mild temperatures and solar radiation, it is swiftly weakened as the day progresses, forfeits its firmness. On steep shady slopes in high alpine regions, the uppermost layers are often still powdery. In places, however, small, fresh-and-older snowdrift accumulations and near-surface intermediate layers are prone to triggering. Avalanche danger assessment Avalanche danger in early morning is moderate, rises significantly during the daytime. Due to daytime warming and solar radiation, wet-snow avalanches can be expected in zones which have not yet discharged. They can grow to large size in isolated cases on east-facing, south-facing and west-facing slopes at all altitudes; and on north-facing slopes below about 2800 m. Backcountry tours should be launched early in the day and terminated early in the day. As a result of strong southerly winds, small snowdrift accumulations are being freshly generated at high altitudes. These drifts can be easily triggered on very steep slopes in particular..
