Icy NE winds
On Sunday, visibility often reduced by clouds and fog, intermittent minor snowfall, hardly any sunshine. Winds will intensify, shift from NW to NE. In the afternoon winds will reach 30 km/hr, in the Tauern region 40-70 km/hr. Cold. At 2000 m: -13 degrees.
No significant change expected.
Icy NE winds
Avalanche danger is LOW. Only very few danger zones exist: in extremely steep terrain and shady high altitude slopes where fresh shallow snowdrifts have been generated. Isolated small-to-medium glide-snow avalanches are possible, triggering naturally. Zones below glide cracks and extremely steep grassy slopes should be avoided.
Most surfaces have enormous wind impact and are hardened. Where there is no wind there are a few centimetres of fresh snow atop a springlike surface (melt-freeze encrusted). Also the layers of the old snowpack are well bonded, though there are icy films between them. The weakest layer lies at ground level. At valley floor and on sunny slopes there is little snow up to intermediate altitudes.
