Wet snow
2600m


Wet snow requires caution.

Wet avalanches can in isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant. This applies especially below approximately 2600 m.

As a consequence of new snow and a moderate wind, clearly visible wind slabs will form in particular in high Alpine regions. These are small and can only be released in isolated cases.

Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases and mostly by large additional loads in particular on very steep shady slopes, in particular above approximately 2500 m.

Snowpack

dp.3: rain
dp.1: deep persistent weak layer

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted at times. Some rain will fall until late morning in some regions.

Shady slopes above approximately 2500 m: Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack at elevated altitudes.

On steep sunny slopes as well as below approximately 1800 m hardly any snow is lying.

Tendency

A clear night will be followed in the early morning by favourable conditions generally. Gradual increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.


Danger level


Avalanche Problem
Wet snow


Individual avalanche prone locations for wet avalanches are to be found in particular on extremely steep shady slopes.

As a consequence of the rain individual mostly small wet avalanches are possible. This applies in particular in case of releases originating from extremely steep starting zones that still retain some snow. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on extremely steep shady slopes at high altitude.

Snowpack

dp.3: rain

Up to high altitudes rain will fall in some localities. This applies in particular during the night. The snowpack will be wet all the way through over a wide area. On steep sunny slopes as well as below approximately 1800 m hardly any snow is lying.

Tendency

Low avalanche danger will prevail.
