Danger level

2400m

Wind slab		2400m
Wet snow		2600m

Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.

High altitudes and the high Alpine regions: Increase in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of new snow and strong wind. The fresh wind slabs are in isolated cases prone to triggering on west to north to east facing aspects. Avalanches can reach medium size in particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation.

As a consequence of the precipitation wet and gliding avalanches are possible, especially below approximately 2600 m. In very isolated cases avalanches can release the saturated snowpack and reach a dangerous size.

Snowpack

dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp.3: rain

High Alpine regions: In some localities up to 15 cm of snow will fall. As a consequence of a sometimes strong wind from southerly directions, wind slabs will form in particular in the vicinity of peaks. The rain will give rise to a loss of strength within the snowpack.

Tendency

Fresh wind slabs in the high Alpine regions. Decrease in danger of wet avalanches as the temperature drops.

Danger level

2000m

New snow		2000m
Wind slab		2500m

Increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of the precipitation.

Increase in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of the precipitation. Avalanches can reach medium size in particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation. This applies in particular on wind-loaded slopes. The avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on steep slopes above approximately 2500 m.
As a consequence of the rain wet and gliding avalanches are possible as the day progresses, especially below approximately 2000 m.

Snowpack

In some regions up to 30 cm of snow will fall above approximately 2500 m. As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong wind, wind slabs will form in particular in the vicinity of peaks. The rain will give rise to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack below approximately 2000 m.

Tendency

The weather will be cloudy. Further decrease in danger of wet avalanches as the temperature drops.
