Circumvent snowdrift accumulations
Avalanche danger above the timberline is MODERATE. Slabs, mostly small-sized, can trigger particularly on very steep and extremely steep north, east and south-facing slopes by minimum additional loading. Isolated small glide-snow and loose-snow avalanches can trigger naturally.
On top of a shallow and relatively compact snow cover, less than 30cm of snow and drifts (with embedded graupel) lie deposited. The border to the old snowpack can serve as a weak layer, more deeply embedded layers are unlikely to trigger.
In the Grassy Mountains of the Lungau Nockberge, mostly sunshine. In the regions of Prealps and Kalkalps, clouds can accumulate from the north. Westerly-to-northwesterly winds can intensify during the daytime. In the afternoon, summits and crests will have windspeeds of 40 km/hr. At 2000m: -11 degrees.
