Increasing danger of wet-snow avalanches
Due to moist air, danger of wet-snow avalanches increases significantly to Danger Level 3 - Considerable - during the course of the day. Wet slab avalanches are possible, esp. at the foot of rock walls along the Italian border. Wet-snow avalanches can fracture down to ground level and grow to medium size, esp. in regions where snowfall has been heavier. Runout zones should be avoided.
Following a night of overcast skies, reduced outgoing radiation and the snowpack surface can freeze only superficially, it softens swiftly in the morning. Weather conditions are making the snowpack ever wetter.
On Sunday, clouds will move in from the southwest, the peaks disappear in fog, gradually rain showers could make themselves felt. In places, strong SW winds. At 2000m: +4 degrees. Source: GeoSphere Austria
Due to high air moisture, likelihood of wet-snow avalanches triggering is on the increase
