As a consequence of the sometimes storm force wind the wind slabs will increase in size moderately. The fresh wind slabs can in many places be released, even by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. Avalanches can in isolated cases penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach large size. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep northwest, north and southeast facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain above approximately 2000 m. The prevalence of avalanche prone locations and likelihood of triggering will increase with altitude. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger. In addition small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized moist loose snow avalanches are possible, in the event of solar radiation in particular on extremely steep slopes. As a consequence of a strong to storm force wind from northerly directions, further wind slabs will form in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. They will be deposited on soft layers. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on northwest, north and east facing slopes. This applies above approximately 2000 m. Below approximately 2000 m and steep sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack will soften during the day. The old snowpack will be moist.

In addition mostly small moist loose snow avalanches are possible, in the event of solar radiation in particular on extremely steep slopes. The wind will be strong to storm force at times. At elevated altitudes rather small wind slabs will form. They will be deposited on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in particular on near-ridge shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

Avalanches can be released, in particular by large loads, but they will be small in most cases. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep shady slopes at high altitude. Shady slopes: Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. Sunny slopes: The old snowpack will be moist. The weather conditions will give rise to thorough wetting of the snowpack at low and intermediate altitudes.
