Snowpack structure (2026-04-09):
Older wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night was good over a wide area. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust only at high altitudes and will already soften in the late morning. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack. On very steep sunny slopes and at the base of rock walls the snowpack will soften quickly. On sunny slopes at low and intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying.
