Danger level
Danger Level 1 - Low


The snowpack will be quite stable. Fresh snow as the day progresses. For this reason the danger will increase a little.

The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field.
The wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. These can in very isolated cases be released, in particular by large loads. Mostly the avalanches are small.
Intermediate altitudes and below approximately 2200 m: As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be only a slight increase in the danger of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides, in particular on steep sunny slopes. Gradual increase in avalanche danger as the snowfall becomes more intense. The prevalence of avalanche prone locations will increase as the day progresses.

Snowpack

Very steep shady slopes: The somewhat older wind slabs are lying on soft layers. In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the old snowpack, in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m.
East, south and west facing slopes: The wind slabs are lying on a crust.
At low altitude no snow is lying. During the day: 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 1000 m.

Tendency

Gradual increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of the snowfall.

Danger level
Danger Level 1 - Low


Some snow will fall in the evening in some regions.

The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field.
Wet snow represents the main danger. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be only a slight increase in the danger of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides, in particular on steep sunny slopes.
The somewhat older wind slabs can be released, especially by large additional loads, especially on steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Mostly the avalanches are small. During the night as a consequence of the snowfall there will be only a slight increase in the avalanche danger.

Snowpack

0 to 5 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall in the evening. Very steep shady slopes: The wind slabs are lying on soft layers. In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the old snowpack, in particular on steep, little used shady slopes above approximately 2200 m.
At low altitude no snow is lying.

Tendency

Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of the fresh snow.
