Danger patterns
dp.10: spring conditions
In the old snowpack, snow layers are mostly well bonded to each other. More or less deep below the surface, several weak layers of facets and faceted grains occur, more frequent on shady slopes.
On a cloudy night, the snowpack surface will not refreeze.
On Tuesday evening there will still be some light precipitation, below approx. 2200 m rain will soften the top snowpack layers. Where rain reaches faceted layers, somewhat deeper and larger wet slab avalanches may release. Above 2200 m a few centimetres of new snow will fall.
Weather
Wednesday cloudy, occasionally some sun possible. Short-duration weak precipitation will occur. Snowing above 2300 m, dry snow above approx. 2500 m. Little precipitation. A weak east wind will blow. Midday temperature at 1500 m around 7, at 2500 m around 1 °C.
Outlook
Thursday mostly sunny, afternoon possible shower. Friday more sun and dry. Still warm.
