As a consequence of a strong to storm force wind from southwesterly directions, further wind slabs will form in the course of the day in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The fresh and older wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in particular on northwest to north to east facing aspects. Caution is to be exercised in particular on near-ridge slopes above approximately 2400 m. The avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow and are difficult to recognise. As a consequence of the sometimes strong southwesterly wind the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent. Small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized wet and gliding avalanches are possible. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. Over a wide area 5 to 10 cm of snow, and up to 20 cm in some localities, has fallen since yesterday. Up to 2200 m rain fell in the past few hours. As a consequence of the strong southwesterly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form in the course of the day. The sleet gave rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack below approximately 2200 m. Shady slopes above approximately 2400 m: The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals. All aspects above approximately 2400 m: The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers.

Fresh wind slabs require caution. Avalanches can be released in the weakly bonded old snow. These avalanche prone locations are to be found especially on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line, caution is to be exercised in particular in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow, as well as at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger. Avalanches can reach medium size. As a consequence of a sometimes storm force wind from westerly directions, wind slabs formed in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The fresh wind slabs remain prone to triggering. At high altitude and in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation these avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep shady slopes in areas close to the tree line and above the tree line. Over a wide area in some localities up to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. This applies in particular in the south. 15 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell on Tuesday. In particular from the Adamello- Presanella to the Brenta Range up to 50 cm of snow fell on Tuesday. The sometimes storm force wind will transport the new snow. The wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on steep northwest, north and east facing slopes. Shady slopes: The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers. Steep sunny slopes: The older wind slabs are lying on a crust. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack confirm the unfavourable bonding of the snowpack. Over a wide area up to 10 cm of snow will fall. The storm force wind will transport the new snow.

Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. Some snow will fall over a wide area. This applies in particular in the south. Over a wide area up to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell on Tuesday. In particular from the Folgaria- Laverone to the Dolomites up to 30 cm of snow fell on Tuesday. The sometimes storm force wind will transport the new snow.
