As a consequence of warming and solar radiation an unfavourable avalanche situation will prevail.
As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be a rapid increase in the danger of wet avalanches. As the penetration by moisture increases medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large wet and gliding avalanches are possible. This applies on steep sunny slopes especially below approximately 2600 m, as well as on steep shady slopes below approximately 2200 m.
As a consequence of new snow and a strong wind from northerly directions, mostly small wind slabs formed by late in the night in high Alpine regions. The fresh wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases in particular on very steep shady slopes.
Snowpack
dp.10: springtime scenario
dp.2: gliding snow
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced in some case. The surface of the snowpack will freeze very little. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to a loss of strength within the snowpack below approximately 2600 m.
The fresh wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. They are mostly small and can only be released in isolated cases. The activity of wet and gliding avalanches will rapidly increase.
Tendency
As a consequence of sharply falling temperatures the snowpack will consolidate towards the evening. In some regions 5 to 15 cm of snow will fall from the afternoon. As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong northerly wind, mostly small wind slabs will form towards the evening.
