Snowpack Structure
The snowpack may firm somewhat as it cools down. Otherwise it will be soaked or soaked through to the higher elevations and generally not very firm. There will be a few snow showers in the afternoon. Only on shady slopes at high altitudes can there still be isolated weak layers in the old snowpack. Low and middle elevations are often already bare.
Avalanche Activity
Predominantly low, locally moderate avalanche danger!
As the weather cools down, the danger of wet snow avalanches generally decreases. The avalanche risk is predominantly low, sometimes moderate locally depending on the snow conditions. In the event of intermittent sunshine or rain showers at higher altitudes, individual spontaneous or person-triggered small to medium-sized wet snow avalanches are still possible from steep terrain that has not been discharged.
