2800m

As the day progresses a moderate danger of wet avalanches will prevail.

The early morning will see quite favourable conditions mostly. Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on very steep slopes above approximately 2800 m.

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be an increase in the danger of wet avalanches. Small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized wet avalanches are possible. This applies in particular on west, south and east facing slopes.

Snowpack

dp.10: springtime scenario

Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the top section of the snowpack at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions.

On Wednesday it will be very mild. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will already soften in the late morning. The spring-like weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to significant softening of the snowpack.
Less snow than usual is lying.

Tendency

The conditions are spring-like. Increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

The conditions are spring-like.

Only a little snow is now lying. The early morning will see favourable conditions generally. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation moist snow slides are possible.

dp.10: springtime scenario

In all aspects as well as in all altitude zones only a little snow is now lying.
On Wednesday it will be very mild. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will already soften in the late morning. The spring-like weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to significant softening of the snowpack.

The conditions are spring-like. Slight increase in danger of moist snow slides as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
