AFTERNOON

Danger level

3000m

Wet snow

3000m

Wet-snow activity will increase during the course of the day

Avalanche danger below 3000m will increase from low to moderate during the course of the day, esp. below 3000m small (in very isolated cases medium-sized) wet-snow avlanches can trigger naturally or be triggered by persons. Also isolated small-to-medium glide-snow avalnches are possible. Above 2800m, small dry-snow slab avalanches are possible in isolated cases, triggered by minimum additional loading, esp. on wind-loaded extremely steep shady slopes and in gullies.

Snowpack

The by and large compact but far below-average snowpack is moist/wet up to 2800-3200m. The melt-freeze crust in early morning is usually capable of bearing loads, but rapidly softens due to higher daytime temperatures and solar radiation.

Tendency

Little change is anticipated. Also in the next few days, beware the daytime danger cycle.

Danger level

Wet snow

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 the thoroughly wet snowpack can be triggered by persons.

Snowpack

Slopes are becoming increasingly bare. What little snow there is on the ground, is wet. The melt-freeze crust which exists in early morning softens during the daytime and the snowpack forfeiets its firmness due to higher daytime temperatures and solar radiation.

Tendency

Little change expected
