Increasing danger of wet-snow avalanches during the course of the day. Caution: weak layers in the old snow
On extremely steep slopes, mostly small wet loose-snow avalanches are possible. In addition, during afternoon isolated small-to-medium wet slab avalanches are possible esp. as of midday. Caution on sunny slopes below 2600m and on shady slopes below 2200m. Weak layer can still be triggered in places by one sole skier. Such danger zones occur esp. on N/W/E facing slopes above 2000m. Avalanches can grow to medium size. In addition, small snowdrift accumulations require caution, they can be triggered by one sole skier in some places.
Nocturnal outgoing longwave radiation is intermittently reduced. The snowpack is moist. The snowpack will soften increasingly during the course of the day. In the middle part of the snowpack on N/W/E facing slopes there are faceted, expansively metamorphosed weak layers evident. The freshly generated snowdrift accumulations have been deposited atop unfavorable layers, particularly on shady slopes above 2400m.
On Thursday, light clouds but widespread sunshine and outstanding visibility. Dense clouds could move in regionally from the SW but it will remain dry. Strong N/NE winds (in exposed Tauern terrain reaching 50 km/hr). At 2000m: 0 degrees. Source: GeoSphere
Caution: local showers
