Fresh wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering. Gliding snow requires caution.
The fresh wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. This applies in particular from the middle of the day. The prevalence of the avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. They are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. Especially slopes adjacent to ridgelines are unfavourable. Avalanches can in very isolated cases reach medium size, in particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation.
On steep grassy slopes more gliding avalanches are possible, in particular medium-sized ones. This applies especially on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.
As a consequence of the rain individual wet loose snow slides are possible.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp.2: gliding snow
5 to 15 cm of snow will fall from midday above approximately 1800 m. This applies in particular in the north. The wind will be moderate to strong in some regions.
As a consequence of the northwesterly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form. These are lying on soft layers on wind-protected shady slopes above approximately 2400 m.
The snowpack will be wet all the way through below approximately 2000 m. At low altitude only a little snow is now lying.
Tendency
The conditions will facilitate a gradual stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation more frequent mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are to be expected. Gliding snow requires caution.
