Isolated small glide-snow avalanches

Isolated small glide-snow avalanches

Avalanche danger is LOW. On extremely steep grassy slopes, isolated small glide-snow avalanches are possible.

The snowpack is thoroughly set due to rainfall and warmth. Fresh snow has not been added to it. At high altitudes the surface was able to consolidate somewhat with the lower temperatures. Sunshine and warmth on Sunday will swiftly soften the surface, especially on sunny slopes. Snow depths are below average. Not much snow at low altitudes.

Sunday: On Christmas Day, very fine weather with lots of sunshine. Residual cloud and fogbanks will recede, visibility will be unhindered. Winds wil be light. It will be very mild. At 2000 m: 2-7 degrees; at 3000 m at midday, 0 degrees. Monday: Above the layers of fog, visibility on Boxing Day will be very good, only some cirrus clouds far above summit level. Winds will be mostly light except on the Main Tauern Ridge (30-40 km/hr) from the south. Still mild: at 2000 m at midday 4 degrees, at 3000 m 0 degrees.

LOW avalanche danger continues.
