Avalanche danger low. The amount of snow is low.

Avalanche danger low. The amount of snow is low.

Still low avalanche danger. Danger spots can be located in high altitudes in shady, extremely steep areas. There slab avalanches and driftsnow accumulations could be triggered.

In high altitudes small amounts of snowdrift accumulations have formed which partially are on top of faceted snow which can be considered as weak layers in rare cases. The snow surface got wet on Saturday, but will be hard on Sunday. Blown-off areas are hard and icy. The kinetic metamorphosis weakens the snow base on shady slopes.

On Sunday northwesterly winds are bringing cooler air masses. In the morning it will be partially sunny. In the afternoon it will get cloudy and the higher summit of the Kalkalps and central Alps are getting foggy. In the northern Alps little amount of snowfall above 1.500 m. Temperatures in 2.000 at noon are around 0 degrees.

Sunday night little amount of snowfall is called tough this is irrelevant to the avalanche situation. The avalanche danger stays low.
