Until midday the weather will be mild over a wide area. Wet and gliding snow are to be critically assessed.
On steep grassy slopes more medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large gliding avalanches are possible below approximately 2600 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. In the early morning more medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are possible. This applies on steep, rather lightly snow-covered slopes in particular below approximately 2600 m.
In isolated cases wet avalanches can release the saturated snowpack and reach large size. In steep gullies avalanches can in isolated cases reach valley bottoms at relatively high altitudes.
Snowpack
dp.10: springtime scenario dp.2: gliding snow
The snowpack will be wet all the way through. This applies on sunny slopes in all altitude zones, as well as on shady slopes below approximately 2600 m. The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will already be soft in the early morning.
Tendency
Wednesday: Sharp decrease in danger of wet avalanches as the temperature drops.
Danger level
Until midday the weather will be very mild. The danger of wet avalanches will already exist in the early morning.
On steep grassy slopes mostly small gliding avalanches are possible. From the middle of the day the activity of wet avalanches will gradually decrease.

The surface of the snowpack will freeze very little and will already be soft in the early morning.
Below approximately 1800 m from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.
