Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wet snow above 2000m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Wind-drifted snow above 2800m, N-NE-NW
Already in the late morning numerous mostly small moist loose snow avalanches are to be expected. High Alpine regions: Fresh wind slabs require caution.
The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field. In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized moist loose snow avalanches are to be expected. This applies above approximately 2000 m on extremely steep slopes. The prevalence of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude.
High Alpine regions: In addition the rather small wind slabs of yesterday adjacent to ridgelines are prone to triggering in isolated cases.
Snowpack
dp 10: springtime scenario
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
In some regions over a wide area 5 to 10 cm of snow. fell above approximately 2000 m. The wind was moderate. In very isolated cases wind slabs are lying on soft layers. This applies in particular on shady slopes above approximately 3000 m. The snowpack will become increasingly moist. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced in some places. At low altitude no snow is lying.
Tendency
The danger of moist loose snow avalanches will persist.
