Favorable avalanche situation

Favorable avalanche situation

Quite favorable avalanche conditions prevail in general. Due to solar radiation, isolated moist avalanches can be expected during the course of the day, esp. on extremely steep sunny slopes. On hardened surfaces, acute danger of falls, esp. in the morning hours.

Partially clear skies at night, the snowpack will freeze and form a crust capable of bearing loads, then softening during the day, esp. on sunny slopes. The old snowpack is moist, esp. on sunny slopes at all altitudes and on shady slopes below 2100m. Below 1600m there is hardly any snow on the ground.

Wednesday will begin with sunshine. Clouds will move in from the north, some high-fog like clouds above 2000m could persist, and increase through the day, the higher peaks could disappear in fog, and ample convective cloud build-up in the afternoon is anticipated, with isolated showers possible. Moderate NW winds, reaching 50 km/hr. At 2000m: -1 degree. Source: GeoSource Austria
