The spring-like weather conditions gave rise to thorough wetting of the snowpack over a wide area, especially below approximately 2600 m. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted. Down to high altitudes snow will fall. The snowpack remains weakly bonded.
Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes.
Wet avalanches can in some places be released easily and reach medium size. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep slopes of all aspects. Avalanches can in isolated cases release deeper layers of the snowpack, especially on steep north facing slopes at high altitude.
