Villach Alps

Little snow on the ground.

Little snow on the ground.

Avalanches are hardly possible in gullies and bowls.

The old snowpack is expansively metamorphosed, with a loosely-packed surface with surface hoar and faceted crystals. Below 1600m very little snow on the ground. Hardly any snow on the ground regionally.

On Thursday, often gloomy mountain weather. Clouds will predominate, especially the southern massifs will have poor visibility and summits in fog. The SW winds will initially be strong, even stormy-strength in exposed terrain, then shift to northwesterly in the evening and slacken off measurably. At 1000m: +6 degrees; at 2000m: -1 degree.
