During the course of the day fresh danger spots in some places.

Low avalanche danger. Nevertheless fresh snowdrift deposits in some places in shady steep areas which can be triggered by small additional loads. Danger spots are partially covered by new snow. Danger of falling is higher than the danger of being buried.

The snow base can settle and is mostly stable. In higher altitudes, especially north and east, thin snowdrift deposits are partially on top of soft layers, partially on top of a hard and icy old snow cover. Above that a thin powder-like new snow layer is found. In general the snow cover is distributed unevenly and wet in medium altitudes. Blown-off areas are often hard and icy.

Friday morning will be partially sunny in upper Styria but in general Friday will be very cloudy. Little to moderate snowfall is called. In the border area to Carinthia the amount of snowfall will be the most (10 cm new snow). Weak westerly to northern winds. Temperatures at noon are around -8 degrees in 2.000 m.

Saturday will be very cloudy with little amount of snowfall and poor visibility. The snowdrift danger will be decreasing. No significant change of the avalanche danger
