Slightly heightened wet-snow activity in the course of the day
Avalanche danger below 2600m is moderate. Below 2600m, small-sized wet avalanches can trigger naturally at any time of day or night or else be triggered by persons, esp. as of midday when diffuse light conditions prevail, then a slight rise in avalanche activity can be expected. Also isolated small-to-medium sized glide-snow avalanches are possible. Above 2600m, small dry-snow slab avalanches can be triggered by one sole skier in isolated cases, particularly on steep wind-loaded slopes and in shady gullies and bowls.
Snowpack
There has been 10-30cm of somewhat wind-impacted fresh snow deposited atop a compact snowpack up to high altitudes (2600-2800m) which is moist/wet. Above 2600m the near-surface layers of graupel and other soft layers inside the snowdrift accumulations serve as potential weak layers. Due to diffuse radiaiton and warmth, the snowpack is forfeiting its firmness.

Isolated danger zones for wet-snow avalanches
Avalanche danger is low. In isolated cases, small glide-snow or wet-snow avalanches can release in steep terrain which has not yet discharged or it can be triggered by persons.
Snowpack
On sunny slopes, the ground is becoming bare. What little snow there is, is moist-to-wet (0-degree isotherm) and often forms a crust capable of bearing loads after a night of clear skies. Daytime warming and solar radiation soften the crust and make it forfeit its firmness.
