Caution: persistent weak layers
Caution: persistent weak layers
Isolated avalanches are triggerable by persons in the weak old snow, esp. on W/N/E facng slopes above 1800m and at the foot of rock walls, releases sometimes medium-sized. Due to daytime warming and solar radiation, isolated small wet loose-snow avalanches are possible, esp. on very steep sunny slopes.
W/N/E facing slopes: in the lowermost part of the snowpack are expansively metamorphosed (faceted) weak layers, esp. above 1800m. Due to low temperatures and low air moisture, the surface forms a crust during nighttime hours. Sunshine and warmth during daytime hours soften up the snowpack.
On Sunday, sunny weather, only thin cirrus clouds, hampered by dust from the Sahara Desert. In the evening hours, intermediate level clouds will move in from the southwest, moderate SW winds will also arise. At midday at 2000m: +2 degrees. Source: GeoSphere Austria
