Gradual increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of the precipitation.
The avalanche conditions in the morning are generally favourable. Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger. In addition the no longer entirely fresh wind slabs are prone to triggering in very isolated cases still. This applies in particular on very steep shady slopes as well as adjacent to ridgelines at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Mostly the avalanches are only small but can be released in some cases by a single winter sport participant.
From midday as a consequence of the precipitation there will be a gradual increase in the avalanche danger. Below approximately 2000 m more frequent small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized moist avalanches are to be expected. As a consequence of fresh snow and a strong westerly wind, further wind slabs will form as well. As a consequence of warming, the likelihood of slab avalanches being released will increase a little at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions.
Snowpack
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp 3: rain
20 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. This applies above approximately 2000 m. At low and intermediate altitudes the snow is moist. This applies from the middle of the day. The sometimes strong wind will transport the fresh snow. In some places fresh snow and wind slabs are lying on soft layers, especially on shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. The older wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the old snowpack on shady slopes, in particular in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow.
Tendency
More frequent moist avalanches are to be expected.

Fresh wind slabs require caution.
As a consequence of fresh snow and a sometimes strong wind from northerly directions, mostly small wind slabs will form as the day progresses. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep slopes in particular above the tree line adjacent to ridgelines. In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and larger.
As the snowfall level rises there will be an increase in the danger of moist and wet avalanches. Small and medium-sized natural wet avalanches are possible as a consequence of the rain.

Wind slabs require caution.
In some regions light snowfall to above 1200 m. As a consequence of a sometimes strong wind from northwesterly directions, wind slabs formed on Saturday. These must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m and adjacent to ridgelines. In some cases the avalanches are medium-sized. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and larger.
Snowpack
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
Little snow will fall in some localities. In some places fresh snow and wind slabs are lying on old snow containing large grains. This applies in particular on shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. The old snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations at low and intermediate altitudes. At low altitude no snow is lying on south facing slopes.
Tendency
Gradual increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
