Avalanche Problem
Wet snow

2600m

 

Moist snow slides and gliding avalanches are possible.
As the temperature drops a favourable early-morning avalanche situation will persist in some cases. The spring-like weather conditions from the early morning will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack in some places in all aspects below approximately 2600 m. As the penetration by moisture increases moist snow slides and avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small.

Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in very isolated cases also on steep, rather lightly snow-covered shady slopes. In addition small wind slabs will form adjacent to ridgelines on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes and in the high Alpine regions. Explanation: "these" may only stand for "these avalanches" can in isolated cases be released by people or triggered naturally.
Snowpack
>
All aspects and: Early morning: The snowpack is largely stable and its surface has a crust that is barely capable of bearing a load.
On steep sunny slopes and below approximately 2600 m the snowpack will soften during the day. Steep, little used shady slopes high altitudes and the high Alpine regions: The snowpack remains weakly bonded in particular in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow.
In some localities up to 2 cm of snow will fall in the next few hours above approximately 2000 m. The sometimes strong wind will transport only a little snow.

In all regions at intermediate and high altitudes less snow than usual is lying. At low altitude from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.
Tendency
As the precipitation becomes more intense the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent on Sunday.
