In Allgau, likelihood of wet-snow avalanches triggering in late afternoon will increase, due to rainfall

Hazard assessment

Avalanche danger above 1600m is moderate, below that altitude danger ris low. Main problem: wet snow. Wet glide-snow avalanches are possible at any time on grass-covered slopes, in sparsely wooded zones and over smooth rock places. In addition, naturally triggered wet loose-snow avalanches are possible on extremely steep slopes which have not yet discharged. At high altitudes there is still sufficient snow for avalanches to grow to medium size.

Snowpack build-up

The snowpack on shady slopes is thoroughly wet up to high altitudes. A thin melt-freeze crust can form during the nighttime hours, but softens swiftly during the morning. On south-facing slopes up to high altitudes, hardly any snow on the ground. On shady slopes, there is snow on the ground above 1400m.
