There may be rain and snow showers in the afternoon. By the evening, around 10 cm of new fallen snow will accumulate at high altitudes, which will be deposited very differently by the wind. It will cool down in the afternoon, with the temperature dropping from 5 to 1 degree at 2000 metres and around -3 degrees at 3000 metres. The snowfall level will drop from 2200 to around 1800 metres during the day. The wind will be light for the time being, shifting to the north-west and freshening from midday. Naturally triggered avalanches possible from early in the morning The avalanche risk is considerable below 3000 metres and moderate above that. Large spontaneous wet snow avalanches are possible. Particularly at risk are steep areas in the extended northern sector between 2200 m and 2600 m, terrain that has not yet been discharged on high east, west and south-facing slopes, and generally those aspects where there is still a lot of snow. In wet snow, avalanches can tear through to the ground, run untypically far and penetrate into the green. Above around 2400 m, in the steep terrain from west to north to east, there are individual avalanche prone locations in the dry persistent weak layer, high alpine also in the southern sector. Take care in the transitions from little to lots of snow. Above 2200m, fresh wind slab forms with the snowfall. Mostly small avalanches can be triggered there in places by slight additional load, be aware of the risk of falling. Reduced outgoing longwave radiation at night prevents the formation of a stable melt-freeze crust. The snowpack consists of compact snow that is characterised by rain up to high altitudes, but softer layers are embedded, especially at higher altitudes, which enable near-surface fractures. On shady slopes from around 2400 metres, there are still weak layers of angular forms and deep rime in the old snowpack close to the ground. The snowpack is moist to wet up to high altitudes. Low and sunny slopes are snowed out. The outgoing longwave radiation at night is limited and it is slightly cooler. The danger of wet avalanches remains. steady 2026-04-19T15:00:00Z 2026-04-20T15:00:00Z 2026-04-19 2026-04-18T15:00:00Z 2026-04-18T15:00:00Z 2026-04-19T15:00:00Z false Rätikon East Rätikon West Silvretta West Lechquellen Mountains Lechtal Alps Vorarlberg Verwall West considerable 2500 all_day moderate 2500 all_day wet_snow 2500 NW E SE SW S W NE N all_day slab persistent_weak_layers 2500 NW NE N all_day slab A cold front.

Rising wet-snow avalanche danger due to rainfall Snowfall above 2300m accompanied by brisk westerly winds, thus transporting it. Frequency and magnitude of danger zones will increase with ascending altitude. In addition, winter sports enthusiasts can trigger isolated avalanches in near-surface weak layers on high-altitude shady slopes. Such danger zones are impossible to recognize. Due to daytime warming and rainfall initially up to 2300m, danger of wet-snow avalanches will increase in morning hours. Wet slab avalanches can be triggered by winter sports enthusiasts. Also isolated naturally triggered wet-snow avalanches are possible. Caution urged above all towards steep shady slopes at 2200-2500m which have not yet discharged and generally slopes in aspects where there is still area-wide snow on the ground. Avalanches can fracture in weak old snowpack layers, in isolated cases grow to large size and have atypically long runout zones. Whumpf noises and breaking through the surface crusts of old snow are indicators of danger. On snowy, steep slopes with smooth underground (such as grass-covered slopes and rock plates) which have not yet discharged, glide-snow avalanches can trigger in all aspects. In evening hours, outgoing radiation will still be effective, but during nighttime hours due to heavy cloud cover, increasingly limited. In early morning hours, rain showers will set in up to 2300m. As showers increase, the snowfall level will drop to about 1800m during the day. At 1800-2500m the ground-level rotten snow is thoroughly wet and prone to triggering, also on north-facing slopes. Lower altitudes are already bare of snow. On sunny slopes the round is becoming bare of snow up to high altitudes. Iin high-altitude, shady steep terrain there are unfavorable intermediate layers in the uppermost layer of the snowpack which can, in places, be triggered.

Spontaneous wet snow avalanches are possible where there is still a lot of snow, i.e. on shady slopes at higher altitudes and on the remaining eastern and western slopes. Avalanches can occur spontaneously or be triggered by winter sports. They usually remain medium in size, but with the accumulation of wet snow and tearing through to weak layers close to the ground, large avalanches are conceivable in exceptional cases. Uncharacteristically long run-out lengths threaten open terrain. Trigger points for dry old snow avalanches are only present in a few high-altitude locations in the extended northern sector. Above 2200m, fresh wind slab forms with the snowfall. Mostly small avalanches can be triggered there in places by slight additional load, be aware of the risk of falling.

The wind will shift from south-west to north-west with the front. Moderate avalanche danger due to lack of outgoing longwave radiation and precipitation Due to the partly cloudy night, the snowpack cannot consolidate sufficiently, so the avalanche risk is already moderate in the morning hours. With increasing warming and the onset of rain, there will be further destabilisation. Wet loose snow and slab avalanches can be triggered spontaneously from terrain that has not yet been unloaded, as well as by small additional loads from individuals, and usually reach small to medium size. Gliding avalanches are also possible in isolated cases. The snowpack can only consolidate slightly during the night due to partly cloudy conditions. As it warms up and precipitation falls, it will quickly soften further and become increasingly moist. As soaking progresses, the snowpack loses firmness in all aspects, and weak layers in the persistent weak layer can be reactivated, especially on the north side. The snow can begin to glide on smooth surfaces. The snow cover is rapidly thinning out. The new week will bring changeable and sometimes very windy April weather. A few centimetres of new fallen snow in the form of showers will only accumulate at higher altitudes.

The avalanche risk is moderate at altitudes with a sufficiently thick snowpack. From undischarged steep terrain, spontaneous or occasional small to medium wet snow avalanches triggered by people are possible due to rain in all aspects up to higher altitudes. Snow slabs could only be triggered in high alpine and very steep terrain on shady slopes, in some cases by low additional loads. The snowpack cannot firmness on the surface overnight due to frequent cloud cover and possible showers. Due to rain during the day, it is soft, soaked or soaked through to the higher elevations and has little firmness. In the interior, it is already damp to wet up to high altitudes anyway, so it is unstable and will continue to degrade. There is only some new fallen snow high up in the Alps. There are only isolated weak layers in the old snowpack at high alpine elevations. Low and medium altitudes are often already covered in snow. As it cools down, the danger of wet snow avalanches decreases somewhat.

On a few steep slopes with smooth ground, such as meadow slopes or rock slabs, wet gliding avalanches can occur. Avalanches are mainly to be expected on the northern slopes and reach medium size. In isolated cases, persistent weak layers can be problematic on the north side at high altitudes. On very steep slopes, medium-sized slab avalanches can be triggered by individuals. Initially, rain falls up to around 2200 metres, with the snowfall level dropping during the day. The snow falls on a moist snow surface and bonds well with it. Only in areas adjacent to the ridgeline, crest or summit can smaller snow packs form. The old snowpack is generally soaked up to high altitudes and consists mainly of snowmelt. In places, layers of faceted crystals can still be found deep in the snowpack at high altitudes exposed to the north. On the south side, the little snow falls widely on apery ground. It gets cooler.
