Fischbach Alps East, Wechsel

Low avalanche danger, but caution urged towards high-altitude snowdrift patches

On Thursday, cloudless skies initially, convective cloud build-up later on. Winds brisk from the northwest. Slightly warmer. At 2000 m: -7 degrees. On Friday sunshine to start with, rapid cloud build-up, light snowfall will set in during the evening above 1200.

No significant change is expected.

Stormy northerly winds continue to transport the cold snow, deposit drifts behind abrupt drops in the terrain. Bonding is mostly good, also there are weak layers inside the fresh fallen snow. The fundament is thoroughly wet up to at least 2200m.

Low avalanche danger, but caution urged towards high-altitude snowdrift patches

Avalanche danger is low. Nevertheless isolated danger zones in the form of freshly generated small snowdrift accumulations occur at high altitudes. Particularly on east and south-facing slopes in extremely steep terrain and entry zones, a slab avalanche cannot be ruled out.
