Danger level
Danger Level 2 - Moderate
Avalanche Problem
Wet snow above 2400m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW

Increase in danger of wet avalanches.

Moderate danger of wet avalanches will be encountered over a wide area. This applies below approximately 2400 m.
Currently there are quite favourable avalanche conditions at elevated altitudes. This applies in particular above approximately 2400 m.
The danger of wet avalanches will increase. The avalanches can release the moist old snow as well and reach large size in some cases. Below approximately 2400 m possibly danger level 3 (considerable) will be reached.

Snowpack

dp 10: springtime scenario
dp 1: deep persistent weak layer

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night was reduced. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack on shady slopes. The old snowpack will be wet all the way through at intermediate and high altitudes. At low altitude hardly any snow is lying.

Tendency

Wet avalanches as the day progresses.

Danger level
Danger Level 2 - Moderate
Avalanche Problem
Wet snow above 2400m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Gliding snow above 2400m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW

Snowpack

dp 10: springtime scenario
dp 2: gliding snow

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night was barely evident. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust only at high altitudes and will soften earlier than the day before. The old snowpack will be wet all the way through at intermediate and high altitudes. At low altitude hardly any snow is lying.

Tendency

Wet avalanches as the day progresses.
