Central Julian Alps

Weak layers persist deep in the snowpack

Weak layers persist deep in the snowpack

The problem is the weak layers in the snowpack, which are deeper in the snowpack. If the load exceeds the load-bearing capacity of the deeper Weak layers, a deep and large avalanche can be triggered. There are many such weak layers, especially on axis above the forest. Small wet snow avalanches are possible during the day on sunny slopes.

In high alpine regions, there is a crust on the surface, and the snow layers are mostly interconnected. The crust supports the skier's weight and can be frozen in the morning. In the mid-mountains, more and more terrestrial areas appear on the sunny slopes. In the old snow cover, several weak layers of shreds and frosted grains occur deep below the surface.

The weather will be changeable to mainly cloudy, with peaks often in the clouds. Less cloudy in the morning in the eastern Karavanke Mountains. Local showers will occur, mainly in the Julian Mountains and foothills in the morning and also in the Kamniško Savinja Alps and the western and central Karavanke Mountains in the afternoon. There will be light to moderate westerly to south-westerly winds. Temperatures will be around 3 °C at 1500 m and -3 °C at 2500 m in the middle of the day.

It will clear up on Tuesday. Faster in the high alpine regions than in the mid mountains. There will be no major warming. The danger of avalanches will remain similar.
