Nonsberger Alps East

Over a wide area from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying. Wet snow requires caution.

Over a wide area from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying. Wet snow requires caution.

The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will already soften in the late morning. The danger of wet and gliding avalanches will persist, especially on steep east, south and west facing slopes. Mostly avalanches are only small but can be released in some cases even by a single winter sport participant. Caution is to be exercised in particular in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow. At the Latemar the avalanche prone locations are a little more prevalent and the danger is greater.

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced in some case. As a consequence of low stratus no crust will develop on the surface during the night. In the other regions the snowpack will only just freeze. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to rapid and thorough wetting of the snowpack in particular on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m. In areas where the snow cover is rather shallow the snowpack will soften more quickly. Only a little snow is now lying.

The conditions are spring-like. Increase in danger of wet avalanches in the course of the day.
