Fresh wind slabs in the high Alpine regions. Slight increase in danger of moist and wet avalanches in the course of the day.
As a consequence of a sometimes strong wind from southerly directions, avalanche prone wind slabs will form. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep shady slopes adjacent to ridgelines in high Alpine regions.
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation individual wet loose snow avalanches are possible. This applies on extremely steep sunny slopes below approximately 2800 m, this applies in case of a single winter sport participant.
Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in very isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Avalanches can reach medium size in isolated cases.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind dp.10: springtime scenario
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to a loss of strength within the snowpack in some cases on very steep sunny slopes. The wind will transport the loosely bonded old snow. This applies on shady slopes in high Alpine regions. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.
Tendency
Up to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall.

Slight increase in danger of moist and wet avalanches in the course of the day.
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation wet loose snow avalanches are possible, but they can reach medium size in isolated cases, especially on very steep sunny slopes below approximately 3000 m. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in very isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Avalanches can reach medium size in isolated cases.
Snowpack
dp.10: springtime scenario dp.1: deep persistent weak layer
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced in some case. Especially on steep sunny slopes, a partially stable melt-freeze crust formed. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to a loss of strength within the snowpack in some cases on very steep sunny slopes. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers especially on shady slopes in high Alpine regions.
Tendency
Above approximately 1500 m snow will fall on Monday. In particular in the south up to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall.
Danger level
A mostly favourable avalanche situation will prevail.
In some localities increase in danger of moist and wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep sunny slopes at elevated altitudes.
Snowpack
dp.10: springtime scenario
In all altitude zones less snow than usual is lying. As a consequence of highly fluctuating temperatures and solar radiation the snowpack consolidated. These weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack in particular on steep sunny slopes.
Tendency
Above approximately 1500 m snow will fall on Monday. In particular in the south up to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall.

On steep grassy slopes small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. This applies in particular in the west and below approximately 2800 m.
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation individual wet loose snow avalanches are possible. This applies on extremely steep sunny slopes below approximately 2800 m, this applies in case of a single winter sport participant.

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to a loss of strength within the snowpack in some cases on very steep sunny slopes. The wind will transport only a little snow. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers on shady slopes. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.
Tendency
Up to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. This applies in particular in the south.
