Gliding snow represents the main danger. In the course of the day sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs will form at elevated altitudes.
Gliding snow represents the main danger. On steep grassy slopes more gliding avalanches are possible, even large ones in isolated cases. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.
On very steep west facing slopes individual medium-sized slab avalanches are possible below approximately 2400 m. This applies even in case of a single winter sport participant.
As a consequence of new snow and a strong wind from westerly directions, wind slabs will form from the middle of the day. The fresh wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m, in particular adjacent to ridgelines. Mostly avalanches are small.
Snowpack
dp.2: gliding snow dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good over a wide area. The old snowpack will be moist below approximately 2400 m.
Over a wide area 5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 1500 m. The wind will be moderate to strong. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes above approximately 2400 m.
Tendency
Sunday: The fresh wind slabs remain prone to triggering on shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. More frequent moist loose snow avalanches are to be expected.

Over a wide area 5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 1500 m. This applies in particular in the east. The wind will be moderate to strong. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. They are mostly small and can only be released in isolated cases.
Tendency
Sunday: The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust. Decrease in danger of wet avalanches. The weather conditions will facilitate a slight stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations.
