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. From 2600-3000m esp. on north-facing slopes,isolated wet slab avalanches are possible and can reach medium size. Also isolated small-to-medium glide-snow avalanches are possible.

Snowpack

The by and large compact but far below-average snowpack is moist/wet up to 2800-3200m. The snowpack on sunny slopes is thoroughly wet up to about 3000m, on steep north-facing slopes up to 2600m. 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
