Danger level
Danger Level 2 - Moderate
Avalanche Problem
Wet snow above 2500m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Wind-drifted snow above 2500m, N-NE-NW

Moist and wet avalanches are possible already in the late morning. Wind slabs in high Alpine regions.

Already in the late morning mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are possible below approximately 2500 m. As the day progresses the likelihood of wet loose snow avalanches being released will increase a little, especially on sunny slopes below approximately 2500 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular on extremely steep slopes. The deep wind slabs of last week can still be released in some cases on very steep shady slopes in high Alpine regions. In isolated cases avalanches are large but can mostly only be released by large loads. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines.

Snowpack

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted. The surface of the snowpack will freeze very little and will already be soft in the early morning. Up to 1800 m rain will fall in some localities. As the day progresses as the penetration by moisture increases there will be an increase in the danger of moist and wet snow slides within the current danger level. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2500 m. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack on shady slopes, especially in areas close to the tree line. The deep wind slabs of last week have bonded quite well with the old snowpack.

Tendency

Wet snow slides and avalanches are still possible.
