Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wet snow above 2500m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Wind-drifted snow above 2500m, N-NE-W-NW
Natural wet avalanches require caution. Wind slabs in high Alpine regions.
In all regions and below approximately 2500 m small and medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are possible. As a consequence of the rain, the likelihood of moist and wet avalanches being released will increase. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. The mostly small wind slabs of the last few days must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on west to north to northeast facing aspects above approximately 2500 m. Single backcountry tourers can release avalanches in some places, with a large load in most cases.
Snowpack
Up to 2000 m rain has fallen over a wide area. In particular in the Ortler Range and in the Ulten Valley up to 30 cm of snow. has fallen in the last two days above approximately 2000 m. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be barely evident. The surface of the snowpack cooled hardly at all during the overcast night and will already be soft in the early morning. As the day progresses as the penetration by moisture increases there will be an increase in the danger of moist and wet avalanches within the current danger level. This applies in all aspects in particular below approximately 2500 m. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack on shady slopes. The mostly small wind slabs of the last few days are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. They can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases and generally in high Alpine regions.
Tendency
Moderate, level 2.
