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.
During the cloudy night, the snowpack surface will not refreeze.
On Tuesday evening, there will still be some minor precipitation; below approx. 2200 m, rain will soften the upper snowpack layers. Where rain reaches faceted layers, somewhat deeper and larger wet slab avalanches can be triggered. Above 2200 m, a few centimeters of new snow will fall.
Weather
Thursday partly cloudy, occasionally sunny. Afternoon local precipitation possible. Midday temperature at 1500 m around 7, at 2500 m around 1 °C.
Outlook
Friday more sunshine and dry. Still warm.
