Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wet snow above 2000m, E-SE-S-SW
Wind-drifted snow above 2800m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
The danger of loose snow avalanches will increase quickly in the early morning, in the regions exposed to a lot of fresh snow especially.
The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field.
Above approximately 2000 m snow has fallen over a wide area. As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of loose snow avalanches being released will increase quickly in particular on steep sunny slopes. Natural avalanches are likely to occur. In some cases the avalanches are medium-sized.
The wind will be moderate to strong at times. Adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls further wind slabs will form. As a consequence of warming during the day, the likelihood of slab avalanches being released will increase a little in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2800 m. Avalanches are rather small but can be released in isolated cases by a single winter sport participant. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude.
Snowpack
dp 10: springtime scenario
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
In some regions 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell above approximately 2000 m. The snowpack will become moist in particular on sunny slopes. Individual weak layers exist in the old snowpack on steep shady slopes, especially above approximately 2800 m. At low altitude no snow is lying.
Tendency
Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of fresh snow and wind.
