Low avalanche danger at high altitudes

Low avalanche danger at high altitudes

Low avalanche danger prevails. Some small snowdrift patches have been generated at high altitudes, otherwise exposed zones are windblown, hardened or even iced-over. In these areas there is a risk of taking a fall. Poor visibility can be expected.

As in the more recent periods of snowfall, this region will get noticeably less than in the NW, thus the generation of drifts will also be limited. These will cover hardened surfaces or bare ground.

Monday will be gloomy with heavy, low lying clouds. Particularly in the northern barrier cloud regions (esp. Dachstein to Hochschwab region) can expect moderate but persistent snowfall. Poor visibility. Strong-to-stormy N/NW winds will be blowing. Temperature at 1500 m: -6 degrees; at 2000 m: -10 degrees.

On Tuesday conditions will improve. Residual cloud will disperse, sunshine will come to the fore. Still strong N/NE winds will be blowing. At 2000 m: -7 degrees. Snowdrift accumulations require high caution.
