Small wet snow avalanches in snowy places

Small wet snow avalanches in snowy places

The avalanche risk is low. Small wet snow slides can spontaneously occur from slopes that have not yet been unloaded on those aspects where there is still snow. Wet snow slides triggered by winter sports increase the risk of entrainment in the fall terrain.

The outgoing longwave radiation at night is poor and the snow cover remains largely isothermal. Small pillows of wind drifted snow can still be found adjacent to ridgelines in places, but most of the terrain is already snowed out.

In the first half of the night, rain will become less heavy. Mostly cloudy. Tomorrow, Wednesday, will bring dry weather with some clouds; visibility will be limited at times in the summit area. This will slowly improve during the day and the sun will appear occasionally. In the afternoon, a few harmless showers are possible in the Nockberge mountains (snowfall level around 2300 metres). The wind will blow weakly to moderately from east to south. At 2000 m between 2 and 4 degrees. The frost line will rise to 2800 metres.

Gradual reduction of the avalanche risk due to melting and raining away of the remaining snow.
