Zimnitzmassiv, Höllengebirge

Local wet snow problem!

Local wet snow problem!

The avalanche risk is low. On higher steep slopes with a sufficiently thick snowpack, local wet snow avalanches in all aspects are still possible during the day, some of which can reach medium size.

The snow surface can hardly firmness overnight. The snowpack is wet up to high altitudes on the inside, otherwise it is damp and therefore unstable and continues to break down. Mild temperatures, intermittent sunshine and short rain showers further destabilise the snowpack. Low and sunny slopes in the middle of the snowpack are bare.

On Thursday, compact clouds will persist in the morning and visibility will be limited. Brief rain showers are possible. As the day progresses, the weather will become softer and the sun may make an appearance. The wind will blow moderately to briskly from the west, especially in the afternoon. At 1500 m around 6 degrees, at 2000 m around 3 degrees. On Friday, the sun will shine frequently with good visibility alongside a few clouds. In the afternoon, there will be an increase in cumulus clouds and visibility may be restricted at high altitudes in the Alps. Isolated showers will then also be possible, from around 2200 to 2500 metres as snow. The wind will blow mainly weak to moderate from north-easterly directions. Temperatures will rise to 6 degrees at 1500 metres and 1 to 4 degrees at 2000 metres.

No change.
