Fischbach Alps East, Wechsel

Low avalanche danger with mostly little snow.

Low avalanche danger with mostly little snow.

The avalanche risk is low. In extremely steep gullies or bowls on shady slopes, the triggering of small slab avalanches cannot be completely ruled out.

There is still significantly less snow than average. A thin, partly bound snowpack covers a very variable and mostly hard old snowpack. In shady gullies and bowls, the connection between the bound snowpack and the old snowpack is sometimes poor. In addition, angular shapes can weaken the snow base, fundament.

During the night, the clouds increase from the south and in the morning it starts to rain and snow along the edge of the mountains. The wind dies down overnight. On Wednesday, the mountains of the Randgebirge are covered in fog and it snows a little. The snowfall level fluctuates between 1000 and 1500 metres above sea level. The heaviest snowfall will be on Thursday night. The wind will pick up again during the day. In the afternoon, moderate to strong winds with gusts between 40 and 60 km/h from south to west. The temperature at an altitude of 1500 metres will be around -1 degrees. The temperature at an altitude of 1000 metres will be around +1 degree. Amounts of new snow between a few centimetres in the eastern foothills and up to 10 cm on the Koralm are expected.

The risk of avalanches will increase slightly with the snowfall on Thursday night. During the day, there will still be some clouds and fog in windless conditions. Apart from a few snowflakes, no significant new fallen snow is expected.
