The activity of wet avalanches increases during the day changes.

Hazard assessment

The avalanche risk rises to moderate above 1600 metres during the daytime changes, below that the danger is low all day. Wet snow is the main problem. Wet loose snow avalanches are to be expected where there is still a lot of snow. In extremely steep terrain in all aspects, they usually release themselves. On steep slopes with smooth ground, such as meadow slopes or rock slabs, wet gliding avalanches can occur. Avalanches reach medium size. In isolated cases, persistent weak layers can be problematic in the northern aspects of the high altitudes. On very steep slopes, medium-sized slab avalanches can be triggered by individuals.

Snowpack build-up

At night, the snow surface freezes solid before it softens again, sometimes quickly, with the sun's rays. In general, the snowpack is soaked up to high altitudes and consists mainly of snowmelt. In places, layers of faceted crystals can still be found deep in the snowpack at high altitudes exposed to the north. On the south side, the ground is gradually thawing up to high altitudes.

tendency

Rain is forecast for Sunday. Wet avalanches are to be expected all day.
