Savinja Alps and Carinthia

Spring diurnal cycles, possibility of triggering gliding avalanches.

Friday night and Friday morning will be clear. Then clouds will form, obscuring the peaks. Temperatures will be around 9 °C at 1500 m and 1 °C at 2500 m in the middle of the day.

Saturday will be sunny and dry. It will continue to be warm. On Sunday, it will become cloudy in the middle of the day. The danger of avalanches will remain the same.

Spring diurnal cycles, possibility of triggering gliding avalanches.

The Old snow cover is mostly well connected and stable, with the exception of some shady areas above 1800 m. Gliding avalanches are possible.

On a clear night, the surface of the snowpack will thinly freeze. It will soon dry out in the morning and remain soft into the night. Sunny slopes are already quite dry even in the high alpine regions.

In the old snow cover, the snow layers are mostly well connected. More or less deep below the surface, there are several weak layers of faceted snow crystals and discontinuous grains, which are more frequent on the axial slopes above 1800 m.
