The fresh wind slabs of the last few days are to be evaluated with care and prudence. They remain prone to triggering in particular on northwest to north to east facing aspects at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Wind slabs can be released by small loads and reach medium size. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain as well as in shady places that are protected from the wind. In high Alpine regions avalanche prone locations are present in all aspects. These avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. <br/> <br/> Evening and first half of night: <br/> Towards the evening as a consequence of fresh snow and stormy weather there will be a gradual increase in the avalanche danger to level 4 (high). Wind slabs can in many places be released easily and reach large size in isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep slopes of all aspects. The prevalence of avalanche prone locations and likelihood of triggering will increase during the night. Especially at the base of rock walls and in shady places that are protected from the wind medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large natural dry avalanches are possible as the precipitation becomes more intense. In addition a moderate (level 2) danger of gliding avalanches exists. These avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2000 m, also on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks. 10 to 15 cm of snow. will fall until late morning. 40 to 60 cm of snow. will fall from the afternoon above approximately 1000 m. The wind will be storm force over a wide area. Fresh wind slabs will be deposited on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in all aspects above the tree line. The wind slabs of the last few days are lying on soft layers on northwest to north to east facing aspects above the tree line. The old snowpack will be stable over a wide area. High avalanche danger will prevail. 2019-03-13T16:00:00Z 2019-03-14T11:00:00Z 2019-03-14T23:00:00Z 4 2 DP6 DP2 drifting snow gliding snow Significant increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of fresh snow and stormy weather.

Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger. The fresh wind slabs can in some places be released by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. These must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on northwest to north to east facing aspects at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain as well as on very steep shady slopes. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Towards the evening as the snowfall becomes more intense there will be a gradual increase in the danger of dry avalanches to level 3 (considerable). The fresh wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects above the tree line. The prevalence of avalanche prone locations and likelihood of triggering will increase during the night. Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger. 15 to 30 cm of snow. will fall. The moderate wind will transport the fresh snow. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. They are in some cases thick and to be assessed with care and prudence. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. The old snowpack will be quite stable. The old snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes. As a consequence of fresh snow and wind there will be an increase in the avalanche danger within the current danger level. 2019-03-13T16:00:00Z 2019-03-14T11:00:00Z 2019-03-14T23:00:00Z 3 1 DP6 drifting snow Gradual increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of fresh snow and strong wind.

Hardly any more natural avalanches are to be expected. In particular shady slopes where weaknesses exist in the old snowpack are unfavourable. In addition the mostly small wind slabs of last week in particular adjacent to ridgelines and at elevated altitudes are prone to triggering in some cases still. These can be released, in particular by large loads. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs have formed in all aspects. The fresh snow and wind slabs of last week have bonded quite well with the old snowpack in particular on sunny slopes. Faceted weak layers exist deeper in the old snowpack especially in shady places that are protected from the wind. As a consequence of fresh snow and strong wind the prevalence of avalanche prone locations will increase in the evening. 2019-03-13T16:00:00Z 2019-03-13T23:00:00Z 2019-03-14T11:00:00Z 1 1 DP6 drifting snow Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of fresh snow and wind. Fresh wind slabs require caution. The fresh wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases on northwest to north to northeast facing aspects above approximately 2200 m. The wind slabs are mostly small. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines. In the north and at elevated altitudes avalanche prone locations are a little more prevalent and the danger is slightly greater. In the evening as a consequence of fresh snow and wind there will be a gradual increase in the avalanche danger to level 2 (moderate). The prevalence of avalanche prone locations and likelihood of triggering will increase during the night. 5 to 15 cm of snow, and up to 20 cm in some localities, will fall. The wind will transport the snow. Individual weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack on shady slopes, in particular in areas close to the tree line in little used backcountry terrain. The snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes. As a consequence of fresh snow and wind there will be an increase in the avalanche danger within the current danger level. 2019-03-13T16:00:00Z 2019-03-14T11:00:00Z 2019-03-14T23:00:00Z 2 1 DP6 drifting snow Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of fresh snow and wind.
