On Wednesday night, precipitation will fall over a wide area except in the south. A further 20 to 40 cm of snow will fall
in the north and east, and as much as 50 cm will fall in the regions on the northern flank of the Alps where orographic lifting
occurs. Smaller amounts will fall elsewhere. The snowfall level will rise on Wednesday evening towards 2500 m, including in
the east. During the day the east will be mostly cloudy, and the precipitation will cease as the day progresses. In the west
the weather will become increasingly bright, and in the afternoon partly sunny. The south will be mostly sunny. It will be
very mild in the mountains. The wind will be strong at elevated altitudes and strong to storm force on the main Alpine ridge,
from the northwest.
The avalanche danger will decrease in the northwest as the day progresses, probably to level 3 (considerable). In southern
Valais it is likely to remain level 4 (high). In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation on the northern flank of the
Alps and in the east, the avalanche danger will be level 4 (high). Otherwise it will not change significantly.
