Western Nonsberg Alps

Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases.

Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases.

Avalanches can in isolated cases be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size in isolated cases on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. They can be released, even by a single winter sport participant. As a consequence of warming during the day individual mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are possible.

Shady slopes: Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. This applies especially above the tree line. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night was reduced. The weather conditions during the course of the night gave rise to slight moistening of the snowpack. In some localities 2 to 5 cm of snow will fall in the late morning, especially above approximately 1800 m.

Over a wide area 15 to 25 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 1600 m. The strong wind will transport the new snow. Fresh wind slabs are in isolated cases prone to triggering. Weakly bonded old snow requires caution. The avalanche danger will increase. Over a wide area 15 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until Sunday. The strong wind will transport the new snow. Fresh wind slabs are prone to triggering on steep shady slopes. The avalanche danger will increase.
