Wet snow represents the main danger. Wind slabs in the high Alpine regions.
Wet avalanches can as before be released by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes below approximately 2600 m. Avalanches can release the saturated snowpack and reach medium size. Some rain will fall during the night in some regions. As a consequence of the rain, the likelihood of avalanches being released will increase.
The wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases in particular on very steep shady slopes in high Alpine regions. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found adjacent to ridgelines.
Snowpack
dp.3: rain dp.9: graupel blanketed with snow
Over a wide area an overcast night. The old snowpack is wet. This applies on shady slopes below approximately 2600 m, as well as on sunny slopes below approximately 3000 m. Up to intermediate altitudes rain will fall over a wide area. Above approximately 2400 m snow will fall.
High Alpine regions: Wind slabs are lying on soft layers on very steep shady slopes.
Tendency
Up to high altitudes rain will fall over a wide area. Over a wide area up to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 2200 m. The surface of the snowpack is not frozen and will already be soft in the early morning.

Wet snow represents the main danger.
Wet avalanches can in some places be released by a single winter sport participant. Wherever a lot of rain falls the danger will increase more quickly. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes below approximately 2600 m. Avalanches can release the saturated snowpack and reach medium size.
Individual gliding avalanches can also occur, caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep grassy slopes in the regions with a lot of snow.
Snowpack
dp.3: rain
Over a wide area an overcast night. The old snowpack is wet. Up to intermediate altitudes rain will fall. Above approximately 2200 m snow will fall. The wind will be light over a wide area. On steep sunny slopes as well as at low and intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying.
Tendency
Some rain will fall over a wide area. Above approximately 1800 m snow will fall. The wind will be light.

The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes below approximately 2600 m. Avalanches can release the saturated snowpack and reach medium size. Some rain will fall in the afternoon in some regions. As a consequence of the rain, the likelihood of avalanches being released will increase.
