Wet-snow avalanches possible at any time or day or night, due to a thoroughly wet snowpack
Wet-snow avalanches possible at any time or day or night, due to a thoroughly wet snowpack following a night of overcast skies., esp. at the foot of rock walls on the Italian border. Wet-snow avalanches can fracture down to ground level and grow to medium size, esp. in zones with sufficient snow. Runout zones should be avoided.
Snowpack
dp.10: springtime scenario
Following a night of overcast skies, reduced outgoing radiation and the snowpack surface can freeze only superficially, it softens swiftly in the morning. Weather conditions are making the snowpack ever wetter.
Tendency
Due to rainfall, likelihood of wet-snow avalanches triggering is on the increase

Wet-snow avalanches possible at any time of day or night due to a thoroughly wet snowpack
Due to air moisture, danger of wet-snow avalanches rises significantly during the course of the day - to Danger Level 2, Moderate. Wet slab avalanches are possible. Wet-snow avalanches can fracture down to ground level and thus grow to medium size. Runout zones should be avoided.
Snowpack
dp.10: springtime scenario
Overcast skies during the nightttime hours, outgoing longwave radiation is much reduced. The snowpack can freeze only superficially and softens rapidly in early morning. Weather conditions are making the snowpack ever wetter.

Likelihood of wet-snow slides will rise during daytime hours
Due to daytime warming and solar radiation, likelihood of wet snow slides will increase during the course of the day. Runout zones should be avoided. Some starting zones have already completely discharged.
Snowpack
dp.10: springtime scenario
Nocturnal outgoing longwave radiation will be quite good. The snowpack surface will freeze and be capable of bearing loads in early morning, softening subsequently over the course of the day. As of midday, sunshine and warmth will make the snowpack increasingly wet. Below 1600m there is hardly any snow on the ground.
