Lower Tauern North

Main problem: gliding snow

Fine weather from a high-pressure front. Nocturnal skies will be star-studded and tranquil. In the valleys, early morning fog will form. Sunshine will dominate tomorrow but for a few harmless clouds, outstanding visibility. Light winds at all altitudes. Far too mild for this juncture of the season, zero-degree level at 2500 m. At 2000 m: 3-5 degrees; at 3000 m: -2 degrees.

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.

The snowpack is thoroughly wet up to 2000 m. Good nocturnal outgoing longwave radiation, a melt-freeze crust has formed, usually capable of bearing loads. Above 1900 m there are small snowdrifts deposited atop a crust, easily recognized, usually well bonded with the surface, unlikely to trigger. Due to warmth of the ground and moistness of the snowpack, increased glide-snow activity can be expected.

Main problem: gliding snow

Avalanche danger is MODERATE above 1800 m. Avalanches can trigger in all aspects at any time of day or night naturally as long as there is sufficient snow on the ground and grow to medium size, sometimes large size. Avoid zones beneath glide cracks. Otherwise the danger of falling outsweighs that of being buried in snow masses.
