Javornik Hills and Snežnik Plateau

Blown snow

Blown snow

The main danger is from blowing snow. Snowpack stability is reduced, especially on slopes and in ravines, where the snow thickness is greater due to snow drifts.

The last snowfall brought strong northerly winds, which blew the snow above the snow line down to the old snow base or to the ground in many places, and built up snowdrift accumulations on the leeward slopes. In some places, these have built up on a layer of parachuted graupel, which is a potentially dangerous Weak layer. Locally, the layers of Graupel are 5-10 cm thick, possibly more.

Monday will be mostly sunny, with clouds forming during the day. It will be around 13°C at 1500 m and 8°C at 2000 m. There will be zero isotherm over the highest peaks. Winds will decrease.

The danger of avalanches will remain similar.
