Low avalanche danger, but still some wet snow problems!

Low avalanche danger, but still some wet snow problems!

The avalanche risk is low. Nevertheless, spontaneous wet snow avalanches triggered by people can occur in a few places, in particular after being soaked by intermittent sunlight or rain showers. The avalanches usually remain small to medium-sized. Gliding avalanches are also possible in isolated cases.

The snowpack can consolidate a little as it cools down. However, it can become soaked and unstable again in places due to intermittent sunshine or rain showers. A thin layer of fresh snow will form on the surface in places at high altitudes. The snow can begin to glide on a smooth surface.

Monday in Styria will bring changeable and much cooler mountain weather than recently. In the morning it will be sunny again and again and the mountain peaks will often be clear. From midday onwards, the spring clouds will increase and in the afternoon it will be partly cloudy and regional rain showers and snow showers are to be expected above around 1600 to 1800 metres. With moderate winds from the north-west, it will be cooler than recently, with temperatures of -1 to -2 degrees at 2000 metres.

The changeable, slightly cooler mountain weather will continue on Tuesday. The avalanche risk remains low.
