No danger level
Danger level 1 (No or minor danger)

Explanation of the danger level 1:

  • Avalanches: no danger
  • Earthquakes: may be perceptible
  • Floods: transport disruption and damage are not normally to be expected.
  • Forest fires: small fires cannot be entirely ruled out
  • Meteorological phenomena: no (particular) danger, no warnings in place
Danger level 2 (Moderate danger)

Explanation of the danger level 2:

  • Avalanches: very little danger
  • Earthquakes: felt across a wide area, no likelihood of damage to buildings
  • Floods: rivers are unlikely to burst their banks and floods are unlikely but not impossible
  • Forest fires: local fires can start spontaneously
  • Meteorological phenomena  that are normal for the respective season
Danger level 3 (Considerable danger)

Explanation of the danger level 3:

  • Avalanches: exposed objects (mostly sections of transportation routes) can be endangered
  • Earthquakes: felt across a wide area, likelihood of minor damage to buildings
  • Floods: rivers may burst their banks locally in exposed places and flooding may occur.
  • Forest fires: surface fires are likely
  • Meteorological phenomena of an intensity slightly superior to the normal
Danger level 4 (High danger)

Explanation of the danger level 4:

  • Avalanches: exposed objects (mostly sections of transportation routes, but in isolated cases also buildings) can be endangered
  • Earthquakes: felt strongly, likelihood of damage to buildings
  • Floods: rivers may increasingly burst their banks and flooding may occur
  • Forest fires: surface fires are very likely
  • Meteorological phenomena of unusual intensity
Danger level 5 (Very high danger)

Explanation of the danger level 5:

  • Avalanches: transportation routes and settlements can be seriously endangered
  • Earthquakes: felt strongly, high likelihood of widespread and severe damage to buildings
  • Floods: rivers may burst their banks and flooding may occur in many places
  • Forest fires: fires can start at any time
  • Meteorological phenomena of very high intensity

Obey in any event the orders issued by your local authorities and be prepared for exceptional measures.

Prognose

Am westlichen und zentralen Alpennordhang von den Savoyer und Unterwalliser über die Waadtländer ist oberhalb von rund 1800 Metern im gewarnten Zeitraum mit 60 bis 80 cm, in den Freiburger Alpen und Berner Alpen 40 bis 60 cm Neuschnee zu rechnen. Der stürmische Westwind sorgt dabei für erhebliche Verfrachtungen. In den angrenzenden inneralpinen Gebieten sowie am zentralen und östlichen Alpennordhang sind die erwarteten Neuschneemengen mit 20 bis 40, in den Hochalpen lokal 50 cm etwas geringer. Hier ist eine Warnung der Stufe 2 aktiv.

Die Schneefallgrenze liegt bei Niederschlagseinsatz in der Nacht auf Samstag zunächst bei 800 bis 1200 Metern und steigt tagsüber vorübergehend auf 1500 bis 1800 Meter. Für die tieferen Lagen der westlichen Landesteile sind Warnungen der Stufe 2  für Dauerregen mit Gesamtsummen von 20 bis lokal 50 mm aktiv. In der Nacht auf Sonntag sinkt die Schneefallgrenze wieder sukzessive bis in die Niederungen, wobei die Niederschläge gleichzeitig nachlassen.

Am Samstag weht in Berglagen oberhalb von rund 1000 Metern ein stürmischer West- bis Südwestwind, der tagsüber Böenspitzen von 90 bis 110 km/h, an exponierten Gipfel- oder Kammlagen bis 130 km /h erreicht. Für diese Gebiete sind entsprechende Warnungen der Stufe 2 aktiv. In den Niederungen sind oberhalb von 600 Metern Böenspitzen von 60 bis 90 km/h zu erwarten.
