There will be widespread precipitation until Tuesday morning. The snowfall level on Monday will be around 2100 m, dropping during the night to Tuesday to 1800 m, and as low as 1400 m in the northeast. On the northern Alpine ridge and in westernmost Lower Valais, a total of 20 to 40 cm of snow will fall at high altitudes, with 15 to 30 cm in Grisons. During the daytime on Tuesday conditions will be very sunny in the south and in Valais, while elsewhere cloudy intervals will continue. On Monday, there will be a moderate westerly wind, which will become increasingly strong from the afternoon onwards, reaching storm-force at times in high Alpine regions. On Tuesday the wind will ease off as the day progresses.
The fresh snow and strong winds will create snowdrift accumulations that are prone to triggering. The danger of dry avalanches will increase, especially in high Alpine regions. In addition, with the sunshine on Tuesday the fresh snow is expected to produce loose snow avalanches and wet snow slides.

Avalanche reports from recent days confirm that these weak layers are in some cases prone to triggering.
Further saturation of the snowpack is currently scarcely progressing. Wet snow avalanches that can sweep away the entire snowpack are therefore relatively rare. The most critical areas are north-facing slopes between 2200 and 2600 m.
