Danger patterns
dp.4: cooling after heat / warming after cold
With clearing skies, the snowpack will freeze more noticeably overnight. During the day, snow in the mid-mountains and on sun-exposed slopes in the high mountains will compact somewhat. The zero isotherm will be at around 1600 m a.s.l.
In the last few days above around 2000 m, 5 to 10 cm of new snow has fallen. Precipitation during showers was uneven.
Sun-exposed slopes are already quite bare even in the high mountains.
In the old snowpack, snow layers are mostly well bonded. Individual weak layers of facets and rounded grains appear more or less deep below the surface, more frequent on shaded slopes above 1800 m.
Weather
On Wednesday it will be mostly clear at first, during the day some variable cloudiness will develop. A moderate north to north-easterly wind will blow. It will be relatively cold. Temperature at 1500 m around 0, at 2500 m around -8 °C.
Outlook
On Thursday mostly clear. Weak to moderate northerly wind, more pronounced in the high mountains. During the day considerably warmer. At midday temperature at 1500 m around 8, at 2500 m around 0 °C. Air will be very dry.
The snowpack will be hard and frozen in the morning. During the day it will compact somewhat more. Especially in the high mountains, where some unprocessed snow remains, a wind slab avalanche may be possible.
