Nock Mountains

Falls and stones are the main danger.

Falls and stones are the main danger.

The avalanche danger is low. Small sliding snow avalanches are possible from very steep, not yet discharged grass mat terrain. Isolated danger spots for small slab avalanches (old snow problem) are possible in shady high areas in very steep gullies and hollows.

The snow depth is well below average for the time of year, low elevations are widely bare. The snow surface is hardened and softens a little during the day at medium altitudes, and also at high altitudes on the sunny side. Inside, the snow cover is moist to wet right up to high altitudes. In shady, high and high alpine locations, there are still isolated weak layers of angular crystals in the snowpack.

Monday night is starry on the mountains, the wind is mostly weak, with a foehn-like southerly wind only blowing directly on the main Tauern ridge. During the day, the sun will shine above the valley fog with excellent visibility. Moderately strong southerly foehn winds in the Tauern area. At 2000 metres between 2 and 8 degrees, at 3000 metres around 0 degrees.

Little change, the avalanche danger remains low.
