Fresh snow and wind will give rise to further snow drift accumulations, in particular in the west and north. In addition,
the fresh snow and snow drift accumulations of recent days remain prone to triggering in some places. As a consequence of
rain, natural avalanches are to be expected below approximately 2000 m, in particular on the northern flank of the Alps. In
view of the unfavourable bonding of the snowpack these can be triggered, in the western part of the northern flank of the
Alps in particular, in the weak layers that exist deep in the snowpack, especially on shady slopes.
Distinct weak layers also exist from southern Valais through northern Ticino to Grisons. In particular on little-used west,
north and east facing slopes, avalanches can be triggered in these deep layers, including large ones in isolated cases.
