Avalanche Activity

The danger of avalanches is low.

The snowpack is mostly stable. In some places in the high alpine regions, especially on fresh drifts of blown snow, a small, clustered avalanche can be triggered under higher loads.

Snowpack Structure

There is little snow, and the peaks and ridges are in some places blown bare. In the high alpine regions, weak layers may be present in the old snow cover. In some places, Crust has formed in recent days. The cold weather has not changed the situation much.

Weather Forecast

It will be cloudy and foggy, with light to moderate snow at times. Most of the snow is expected to fall tomorrow afternoon. A weak to moderate northeasterly wind will blow. It will be cold. Temperatures will be around -8 °C at 1500 m and -12 °C at 2500 m.

Tendency

Light to moderate snow until Wednesday morning. 5 to 20 cm of light and sometimes fluffy snow is expected, with the least in the western Julian Mountains and the western Karavanke Mountains. Wind will carry snow to exposed positions. The risk of triggering will increase slightly as the snow will fall on hard and in some places icy ground. As snow will be relatively scarce, only minor avalanches of dry snow will be possible.
