Lower Tauern South

Wet-snow and glide-snow avalanches, snowdrift problem at high altitudes

Variable weather conditions, convective cloud build-up, sunshine and a few rain showers. Winds mostly light to moderate. At 2000 m: 4 degrees; at 3000 m: -2 degrees.

Due to dropping temperatures, wet-snow problem will recede.

Overcast nighttime skies: wet and soft snowpack right from early morning. Above 2400 m, 10 cm of fresh snow fell amid NW winds, the freshly generated snowdrifts are prone to triggering.

Wet-snow and glide-snow avalanches, snowdrift problem at high altitudes

Avalanche danger is MODERATE. Wet loose-snow avalanches and glide-snow avalanches can releases natureally due to high temperatures and rain impact. Most releases are small, above 2200 m medium in isolated cases. Above 2500 m, small snowdrifts have accumulated which can trigger by minimum additional loading.
