Weisseck, Muhr Valley

Hardly any outgoing longwave radiation overnight, wet snow is the main danger.

Hardly any outgoing longwave radiation overnight, wet snow is the main danger.

The avalanche risk is moderate below 2800 metres and low above. In a few places in the terrain, wet avalanches can occur spontaneously or be triggered by winter sports. In particular in very steep terrain below around 2800 m, where there is still a lot of snow. In wet snow, avalanches can tear through to the ground and reach medium size. Above around 2400 m, there are isolated avalanche prone locations in the extended northern sector where medium-sized slab avalanches can be triggered in persistent weak layers. Be careful at the steep transitions from little to more snow.

The snowpack has difficulty outgoing longwave radiation overnight. No or only a very thin melt-freeze crust forms, which softens quickly in the morning. The snowpack underneath consists of compact snow that is characterised by rain up to high altitudes. On shady slopes above around 2400 metres, there are still weak layers of angular forms and deep rime in the old snowpack close to the ground.

In the evening, unproductive showers mix in on the main Alpine ridge, the snowfall level is around 2500 metres. Dry weather soon sets in. The rest of the night will be cloudy. There will be some clouds on Wednesday, but visibility will hardly be restricted except in the highest regions. Light local showers are also possible (snowfall level around 2300 m). The wind will blow weakly to moderately from north to east. At 2000 m around +3 degrees, at 3000 m around -4 degrees.

Slight daytime changes after a clear night.
