Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wet snow above 2400m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Persistent weak layer above 2400m, N-NE-NW
The danger of moist and wet avalanches will increase a little during the day.
The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information about the snowpack, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality.
Small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are possible below approximately 2400 m. The danger of wet and gliding avalanches will increase a little during the day. Weak layers exist in the snowpack. This applies on steep northeast, north and northwest facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. These avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released especially by large additional loads in particular on steep, little used shady slopes.
Snowpack
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust only at high altitudes and will soften during the day. Faceted weak layers exist in the old snowpack on shady slopes, in particular in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow. The older wind slabs have bonded well with the old snowpack.
Tendency
The danger of moist and wet avalanches will decrease gradually.
