Southern Julian Prealps

Increased amount of new snow in the highest parts of the mid-mountains, snowdrift accumulations

Fairly clear, with a few more clouds at times. Initially a light to moderate northwesterly wind will continue, turning southwesterly during the day and moderate westerly in the High alpine regions. Temperatures will be around -2 °C at 1500 m and -10 °C at 2500 m.

On Thursday, it will snow and the danger of avalanches will increase due to new fallen snow and blowing snow.

Blowing snow, gliding avalanches.

In particular, even a small additional load can trigger a small avalanche on snowdrift accumulations. Gliding avalanches also occur on steep, smooth slopes.

The old snow cover is made up of layers of bonded snow that are already somewhat compacted and mostly well connected. A depth hoar has formed at the interface between the snowpack and the ground.
