Avalanches hardly possible, danger zones occur seldom.

Avalanches hardly possible, danger zones occur seldom.

Weak layers can trigger in transitions into gullies and bowls in very isolated cases, releases small, particularly on NW/N/NE facing slopes above 2000m, generally triggerable only by large additional loading. Attention must be given to the dangers of being swept along and forced to take a fall.

Along the Italian border some snowfall is anticipated. Shady slopes: there are faceted expansively metamorphosed weak layers evident in the old snowpack. The snowpack is largely stable, with a surface crust. There is little snow on the ground. Below 1700 m there is hardly any snow.

On Wednesday, generally gray skies, cloud and fog, some light snow snowers in the mountains, only minor amounts expected. Sunshine will be rare. Light to moderate southerly winds (30 km/hr). At 1000m: 0 degrees; at 2000m: -3 degrees; at 3000m: -8 degrees. Source: GeoSphere Austria
