Fischbach Alps East, Wechsel

Low avalanche danger, little snow

Low avalanche danger, little snow

Avalanche danger is LOW. Danger zones are found only in isolated cases on shady high altitude slopes, where potential weak layers inside the snowpack can be triggered.

The expansive metamorphosis inside the old snowpack continues slowly, the weak layers are becoming more pronounced particularly on shady slopes. The snow on south-facing slopes will become moist and soft during the course of the day. Thus, this uppermost layer can forfeit its firmness on steep slopes. In general the snow depths are extremely below average.

On Saturday, residual clouds and fog will disperse from Eisenerzer to the Mürzsteger Alps already in the morning, sunny weather will then prevail. The very strong NW winds will ease. In the afternoon, clouds will move in from the west, but it will remain dry. Winds will shift to SW. At 2000 m: -4 to 0 degrees expected.

On Sunday, variably cloud conditions are expected, sunshine will prevail before a cold front brings initial snow showers to the northern flank of the Alps. Winds will shift to NW, temperatures will drop. Avalanche danger levels are not expected on Sunday.
