Loose snow avalanches and gliding avalanches are the main danger. Wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.
The backcountry touring conditions in the morning are quite favourable.
As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of loose snow avalanches being released will increase appreciably in all aspects. These can penetrate deep layers and reach large size in isolated cases.
In addition the somewhat older wind slabs in particular adjacent to ridgelines are capable of being triggered in some locations, especially on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2800 m. The prevalence of avalanche prone locations and likelihood of triggering will increase with altitude. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized.
A certain danger of gliding avalanches exists. This applies on steep grassy slopes in the regions with a lot of snow. In some localities increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of the precipitation, in particular in the afternoon.
Snowpack
dp 10: springtime scenario
dp 3: rain
The fresh wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack at intermediate and high altitudes. In some cases wind slabs are lying on soft layers. This applies in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2800 m. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good. The old snowpack will be wet all the way through at intermediate and high altitudes.
Tendency
Moderate, level 2. Some snow will fall.
