Small wet snow avalanches in snowy places

Small wet snow avalanches in snowy places

The avalanche risk is low. Small wet snow slides can spontaneously occur from slopes that have not yet been unloaded on those aspects where there is still snow. Wet snow slides triggered by winter sports increase the risk of entrainment in the fall terrain.

The outgoing longwave radiation at night is poor and the snow cover remains largely isothermal due to rain and heat. In places, you can still find small pillows of wind drifted snow adjacent to ridgelines, but most of the terrain is already tapped out.

It will remain very cloudy throughout the night and some new fallen snow will fall on the high peaks of the Nockberge (snowfall level just above 2000 metres). The wind will weaken. Tomorrow, Tuesday, dense clouds with occasional rain (especially in Lungau) will prevail. It may snow a little at summit level (snowfall level 1800 to 2200 metres). Only weak winds from west to north-west. At 2000 m 1 to 3 degrees.

Gradual reduction of the avalanche risk due to melting and raining away of the remaining snow.
