Increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of the precipitation.
The new snow and wind slabs of the last few days must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects above approximately 2500 m. Dry avalanches can reach medium size in particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation, especially on wind-loaded slopes. These can in some places be released by small loads. The avalanche prone locations 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 on steep slopes below approximately 2500 m in all aspects.
Snowpack
In some regions up to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen above approximately 2500 m. As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed in particular in the vicinity of peaks. The rain gave rise to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack below approximately 2300 m.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will increase but remain within the current danger level. Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger. As a consequence of warming loose snow avalanches are to be expected, even medium-sized ones, especially in steep rocky terrain in all aspects below approximately 2500 m.
