The danger of wet and gliding avalanches will increase significantly during the day. As a consequence of new snow and a strong to storm force wind from westerly directions, sometimes easily released wind slabs formed in the last few days in high Alpine regions. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on extremely steep shady slopes. Caution is to be exercised adjacent to ridgelines, and in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow. Backcountry touring calls for meticulous route selection. <br/> <br/> As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be a significant increase in the danger of wet and gliding avalanches, in particular in the regions with a lot of snow. Wet avalanches can be triggered in deep layers and reach medium size in isolated cases. This applies in particular on steep shady slopes. Additionally in some places wet avalanches can also be triggered in near-surface layers. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2200 m. The old snowpack is wet, in particular below approximately 2600 m. <br/> <br/> The moist fresh snow of the last few days and the wind slabs formed by the strong to storm force westerly wind are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on very steep shady slopes. This applies especially above approximately 2600 m, and in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow. <br/> <br/> At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions there is still a very large amount of snow. At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is lying, especially on sunny slopes. Rapid increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. Fresh wind slabs at high altitude. 2021-05-08T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2021-05-09T10:00:00Z 2021-05-09T22:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 3 DP10 DP6 wet snow drifting snow steady 2021-05-09T22:00:00Z 2021-05-10T22:00:00Z High Alpine regions: Fresh wind slabs require caution.

Wet avalanches as the day progresses. The early morning will see quite favourable conditions mostly. Avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and on steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. In high Alpine regions the avalanche prone locations are prevalent and the danger is greater. <br/> <br/> As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation a large number of wet avalanches are to be expected as the day progresses. This applies in particular on steep sunny slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions, as well as on steep shady slopes below approximately 2600 m. Wet avalanches can release the saturated snowpack and reach large size. Exposed parts of transportation routes can be endangered. Wet avalanches can additionally be released in near-surface layers by people. Backcountry tours should be started early and concluded timely. <br/> <br/> The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be good over a wide area. Significant warming to the high Alpine regions. From midday the wind will be strong to storm force. <br/> In some cases the wind slabs have bonded still only poorly with each other and the old snowpack, in particular in high Alpine regions, as well as on steep shady slopes. <br/> Towards its base, the snowpack is moist and its surface has a strong melt-freeze crust. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to a loss of strength within the snowpack. <br/> At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is lying, especially on sunny slopes. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions a lot of snow is lying for the time of year. Monday: Wind slabs in the high Alpine regions. Wet avalanches at intermediate and high altitudes. <br/> Tuesday: Significant increase in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of new snow and stormy weather. 2021-05-08T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2021-05-09T10:00:00Z 2021-05-09T22:00:00Z Avalanche.report 3 1 DP10 wet snow wet snow 2200 2600 drifting snow increasing 2021-05-09T22:00:00Z 2021-05-10T22:00:00Z This is the final hazard map for the winter 2020/21. <br/> Significant warming to the high Alpine regions.

As the day progresses only isolated small wet avalanches are possible. Wet avalanches can in some places be released, especially on shady slopes. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be good over a wide area. The surface of the snowpack will already be soft in the early morning. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack. <br/> At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is lying. In addition, from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.
