During the day: As the day progresses the likelihood of moist and wet avalanches being released will increase. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects, especially on extremely steep sunny slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions as well as on extremely steep shady slopes below approximately 2400 m. The avalanches can release the moist old snow as well and reach large size in some cases. 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. In addition a latent danger of gliding avalanches exists. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2200 m as well as on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m.

dp 4: cold following warm / warm following cold
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced in some case. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust only at high altitudes. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard crust. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the top section of the snowpack. This applies on shady slopes above approximately 2500 m. The old snowpack will be wet all the way through at intermediate altitudes. At low altitude hardly any snow is lying.
The avalanche conditions remain spring-like. The backcountry touring conditions in the morning are favourable.
