Nock Mountains

Only isolated danger zones

Only isolated danger zones

Avalanche danger is low. Triggering a small slab (most likely above 2000m on shady very steep slopes, at lower altitudes where foehn impact) is possible in a few places. In isolated cases a small glide-snow avalanche is possible.

The fundament is weak (faceted crystals beneath crusts) but fracture propagation is unlikely (lacking slab). On shady slopes there is loose snow, on sunny slopes firn conditions are developing. On sunny slopes the layering is stable, gliding snow masses are being observed only seldom.

On Sunday high altitude clouds will make the skies gray, only pale sunshine will penetrate them, making the light conditions diffuse, but visibility will be adequate except in the Lungau. Initially moderate southerly winds will slacken off. At 1500m: 0 to + 4 degrees; at 2500m: -3 degrees.

No significant change expected
