Favourable situation
- All elevations
Low avalanche danger, but danger of falling
Due to rising temperatures then subsequent cooling, the snowpack has regained firmness. At high altitudes it is hard and icy, at intermediate altitudes moist-to-wet.
The airstream is shifting to northwesterly, cooler air masses are moving in, including cloudbanks and intermittent sunshine. Nevertheless, one more day will remain dry, with light winds. At 2000 m: +1 degrees.
Low avalanche danger, but danger of falling
Avalanche danger is generally low. On high-altitude east-facing slopes there are isolated snowdrift patches. Isolated wet slides possible in Gurktal and Seetal Alps.
South of the Mur/Mürz rift, sunshine to start with, slowly becoming overcast. At midday from the north, light snowfall will set in, intensifying somewhat in the afternoon. Snowfall level will drop from 1500 m down to 1000 m by evening. In the rimline ranges, only isolated snow and sleet showers. Due to the precipitation the NW winds in northern regions will intensify. At 2000 m at midday: -2 degrees, subsequently getting much colder. Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
