The weather will be exceptionally warm. The danger of wet avalanches will increase during the day. Some snow will fall in the evening.
In the early morning the natural activity of wet avalanches will rapidly increase. This applies on steep east and west facing slopes below approximately 2800 m, as well as on steep south facing slopes in all altitude zones, this also applies on shady slopes below approximately 2600 m. In some cases the wet avalanches can release the saturated snowpack and reach large size.
On steep grassy slopes individual medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible below approximately 2400 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.
Backcountry tours and ascents to alpine cabins should be started very early and concluded timely.
Snowpack
dp.10: springtime scenario
dp.2: gliding snow
The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will already be soft in the early morning. Until the evening the weather will be exceptionally warm. The high temperatures will give rise to extreme and thorough wetting of the snowpack especially on very steep slopes. These conditions will cause a rapid weakening of the snowpack.
In particular in the west in some localities up to 10 cm of snow will fall in the evening. The fresh wind slabs are mostly very small.
Tendency
Temporary increase in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of the new snow. Temporary decrease in danger of wet avalanches as the temperature drops.
