Savinja Alps and Carinthia

Avalanche danger in high alpine regions is moderate

Avalanche danger in high alpine regions is moderate

There are also some places in high alpine regions with blown snow, which can trigger an avalanche in particular if the load is too high. Weak layers in the snowpack are also a problem. If the load exceeds the load-bearing capacity of the deeper Weak layers, a deep and large avalanche can be triggered. There are many such weak layers, especially on axis above the forest.

The snowpack freezes at night, but becomes harder during the day, especially on Sunny slopes. As the snow warms up, it undergoes a more intense transformation on sunny slopes, which is less pronounced on the axis. In the old snow cover, several weak layers of shreds and coarse grains appear deep below the surface.

It will be clear at first, with some variable cumulus cloud in the afternoon. Mostly weak northerly winds in the morning and afternoon, mainly in the high alpine regions, with a weak south-westerly breeze in the afternoon. Temperatures will be around 4 °C at 1500 m and -2 °C at 2500 m in the middle of the day.

It will clear up on Tuesday. Faster in the high alpine regions than in the mid mountains. There will be no major warming. The danger of avalanches will remain similar.
