At 2000m: -2 degrees. Winds from S/SW will be moderate. Caution: snowdrift accumulations Due to fresh snow and strong-to-storm velocity southerly winds, trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations have been generated esp. above 1900m on NW/N/NE facing slopes, in gullies and bowls, and behind protruberances in the terrain. Avalanches can grow to medium size, and can be triggered by winter sports enthusiasts, mostly by large additional loading. Since Wednesday above 2000m, about 20-30 cm of fresh snow has been registered, locally more. Another 5-10cm cm of fresh snow is still expected. Winds are transporting the fresh snow. Fresh snow and drifts are being deposited on shady slopes atop an unfavorable old snowpack surface (soft layers). Weather conditions will gradually stabilie the near surface layers of the snowpack.

Avalanches can be triggered in the old snow even by one sole skier. In addition, avalanches can be triggered even by minimum additional loading in the near-surface layers of the snowpack, esp above 1800m. Avalanches can on shady slopes sweep along the moist layers of the old snowpack and grow to large size. Caution urged at the foot of rock walls and behind protruberances in the terrain, and in gullies and bowls. Due to moistening, increasingly frequent moist loose-snow avalanches can be expected, also medium-sized ones, esp. after a night of cloudy skies on extremely steep slopes. Caution urged in gullies along the Italian and Slovenian borders. The runout zones should be circumvented. On very steep grass-covered slopes glide-snow avalanches are possible, also medium sized releases. Since Wednesday, 80-120cm of fresh snow has been registered above 1800m, locally more.

At 2000m: -2 degrees. Winds from S/SW will be moderate. Caution: snowdrift accumulations and weak layers in the old snow Fresh snow + moderate to strong southerly winds will generate further snowdrift accumulations, esp. on shady slopes above 2200m in gullies, bowls, behind protruberances in the terrain, which can be easily triggered or trigger naturally. Isolated danger zones occur on sunny wind-protected slopes above 2000m. In addition, avalanches can be triggered in the near-surface layers by large additional loading, these can often sweep along the thoroughly wet snowpack. Caution urged at the foot of rock walls, behind protruberances, and in gullies and bowls. Activity of small-to-medium loose-snow avalanches will increase significantly. Runout zones should be circumvented. On very steep grass-covered slopes, glide-snow avalanches are possible, also medium sized releases.
