Thursday will be very sunny. Winds will be light to moderate, strengthening from the south in the evening.
Avalanche risk will decrease somewhat in all regions. In southern Valais, Ticino and Grisons, however, it will decrease only very slowly due to the distinct and persistent weak layers.
Precipitation will set in from the west overnight to Friday. During the day, conditions will be very cloudy and there will be occasional precipitation, falling as snow above approximately 1200 m. Around 20 to 30 cm will fall in the extreme west of Lower Valais. The wind will increasingly become a moderate southwesterly.
Avalanche risk will increase in the west with the fresh snow, but will otherwise not change significantly.

Ridgelines have often been blown away. In the south, the fresh snow was additionally deposited on top of a weak snowpack. Fresh snow and snowdrift accumulations are often lying on an unfavourable old snow surface of faceted crystals or snow-covered surface hoar and are easily triggered in many places.
There are pronounced weak layers in the snowpack in southern Valais, Ticino and Grisons. At the weekend, human activity triggered lots of medium and sometimes large avalanches in the weak old snowpack in these regions, often from a distance. Snowpack structure is somewhat more favourable on the northern flank of the Alps and in northern Valais, but there are weak layers deeper in the snowpack in these regions too. These may still be triggered, especially where there is little snow and at transitions from a deep to shallow snowpack.
