Avalanches can in some cases penetrate deep layers and reach large size, in particular on west, north and east facing slopes. The avalanche prone locations are numerous. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found also on southeast, south and southwest facing slopes above approximately 2600 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular in little used terrain, as well as at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation loose snow avalanches are to be expected as the day progresses. This applies in particular on steep sunny slopes. In particular on steep, rather lightly snow-covered east and west facing slopes the wet avalanches can penetrate even deep layers and reach large size in isolated cases. In addition gliding avalanches are possible. This applies especially on cut and grassy slopes below approximately 2000 m. Tuesday: More snow than expected has fallen. This applies in particular in the Allgäu Alps and in the Central Lechtal Alps. 20 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen above approximately 2000 m. Up to 2000 m rain has fallen. The wind was strong to storm force in some cases. On Wednesday it will be exceptionally warm. The snowpack remains prone to triggering. Large quantities of fresh snow and the wind-drifted snow of the last few days are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack. The various wind slabs have bonded insufficiently with each other and the old snowpack. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes.

Weakly bonded old snow requires caution. In addition the danger of wet avalanches will increase. Wind slabs are prone to triggering in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. This also applies on south facing slopes at elevated altitudes. Avalanches can in many cases be released in near-surface layers of the snowpack. These can also penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach large size on west, north and east facing slopes. As a consequence of warming individual natural avalanches are possible. The runout zones are to be avoided. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. In addition an appreciable danger of loose snow avalanches exists. In the regions neighbouring those that are subject to danger level 4 (high) the avalanche prone locations are larger. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation small and medium-sized wet avalanches are to be expected. This applies in particular on very steep sunny slopes below approximately 2400 m, as well as at the base of rock walls. In addition a latent danger of gliding avalanches exists. This applies in particular on cut and grassy slopes. In some regions 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen above approximately 2000 m. As a consequence of new snow and strong wind the wind slabs have increased in size additionally. Somewhat older wind slabs are lying on surface hoar in some places. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes. Avalanches triggered by explosives and natural avalanches have confirmed the existence of a weak snowack. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced at times. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to thorough wetting of the snowpack. This applies especially on very steep sunny slopes below approximately 2400 m.

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution. Very steep sunny slopes: Increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of warming. The northwesterly wind has transported the fresh and old snow significantly. In particular at high altitude avalanche prone wind slabs formed, especially adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas in all altitude zones, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain at elevated altitudes. On very steep sunny slopes medium-sized natural avalanches must be expected. In some places the avalanches can penetrate down to the ground and reach large size. Mostly the dry avalanches are medium-sized and can be released by a single winter sport participant. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. The avalanche prone locations are prevalent and are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Backcountry touring calls for meticulous route selection. The new snow and wind slabs of last week are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes above the tree line. Distinct weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack. The meteorological conditions will foster a gradual weakening of the snowpack on sunny slopes. The snowpack remains unstable over a wide area, especially adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas in all altitude zones, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain at elevated altitudes. The snowpack remains prone to triggering over a wide area. The avalanche danger will persist.
