Danger level
Danger Level 1 - Low above 2800m
Danger Level 2 - Moderate above 2800m
Avalanche Problem
Wet snow above 2800m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Gliding snow above 2600m above 1800m, E-SE-S-SW-W-NW

At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is lying. The danger of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides will already exist in the early morning.

The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field. The surface of the snowpack cooled hardly at all during the overcast night and will already be soft in the early morning. Slight increase in avalanche danger until the temperature drops. Gliding avalanches and wet snow slides are the main danger. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular at the base of rock walls and on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2800 m, but in isolated cases also on shady slopes below approximately 2200 m.
From origins in starting zones where no previous releases have taken place moist and wet avalanches are possible, but they can be large in isolated cases.

Snowpack

dp 10: springtime scenario

The old snowpack will be generally well bonded. The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will soften earlier than the day before.
In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the old snowpack on shady slopes, especially above approximately 2400 m in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow.
At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is lying.

Tendency

Slight decrease in danger of wet and gliding avalanches as the temperature drops.

Danger level
Danger Level 2 - Moderate above 2000m
Danger Level 1 - Low above 2000m
Avalanche Problem
Wet snow above 2000m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Gliding snow above the treeline, N-NE-E-SE-NW

At low and intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying. The danger of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides will already exist in the early morning.

The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field.
The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will already soften in the late morning. Gradual increase in danger until the temperature drops. Gliding avalanches and wet snow slides are the main danger. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m, and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls.

Snowpack

dp 10: springtime scenario

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted. The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will soften earlier than the day before. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack especially on very steep shady slopes. Below approximately 1700 m hardly any snow is lying.

Tendency

Temporary decrease in danger of wet and gliding avalanches as the temperature drops.
