Danger level

Avalanche Problem

Wet snow

Persistent weak layer

2200m

Watch out for all-day wet snow problems!

The avalanche risk is predominantly moderate in altitudes where there is still a sufficiently thick snowpack. Medium wet snow avalanches are possible from steep terrain that has not yet been discharged in all aspects. Only very high up and on shady slopes could slab avalanches be triggered in very steep terrain.

Snowpack

Due to the predominantly lack of outgoing longwave radiation, the snow surface can hardly firmness. The snowpack is wet, or at least moist, up to high altitudes. However, weak layers may still be present in the old snowpack only at the top and on shady slopes.

Tendency

Slight cooling, some precipitation with a snowfall level above 2000 metres and wet snow problems.

Danger level

Avalanche Problem

Wet snow

Be aware of the local wet snow problem!

The avalanche risk is predominantly low. However, in altitudes and on slopes with a sufficiently thick snowpack, local wet snow avalanches in all aspects from areas that have not yet been discharged are to be noted, some of which can reach medium size.

Snowpack

Due to the predominant lack of outgoing longwave radiation, the snow surface can hardly firmness. The snowpack is wet up to high altitudes in the centre, or at least moist and isothermal. Only very high up and on shady slopes can the snowpack still contain weak layers.

Tendency

Slight cooling, some precipitation with a snowfall level above 2000 metres and wet snow problems.
