Isolated danger zones in gullies and bowls

Isolated danger zones in gullies and bowls

Weak layers in the old snowpack can in isolated cases on shady slopes be triggered, esp. in gullies and bowls. Avalanche releases are mostly small-sized, mostly above 1800m and at the foot of rocky cliffs. Apart from the risks of being buried in snow masses, the danger of being swept along and forced to take a fall require consideration.

The older snowdrifts blanket a weak old snowpack. The snowpack is highly diverse even over small areas. Only little snow on the ground from region to region below 1600m. Clear nighttime skies are forecast, with low temperatures and low air moisture. Thus, the snowpack will expansively metamorphose during the nocturnal hours. The snowpack is highly diverse even over small areas. Below 1600m very little snow on the ground.

On Sunday, predominantly sunny until afternoon, with outstanding visiibilty. Later in the day, clouds will move in from the south in high-altitude layers. It will remain dry. In exposed terrain, often strong S/SW winds, reaching 45 km/hr. Mild. At 2000m: +1 degree. Source: GeoSphere Austria

No significant change in avalanche danger levels is expected
