Fischbach Alps East, Wechsel

Low avalanche danger.

Low avalanche danger.

The avalanche risk is low. In extremely steep gullies and on shady slopes above the tree line, the triggering of small slab avalanches cannot be completely ruled out. Fresh pillows of wind drifted snow can be triggered as small avalanches behind ridges.

In the last 24 hours, fresh wind slab snow (approx. 10 to 15 cm) has been deposited on a crusted can form old snowpack. Angular shapes weaken the snow layering.

On Wednesday, the mountains on the southern side of the Alps will be covered in clouds and fog until around midday. In the afternoon, there may be the first snow showers on the border with Carinthia. At the same time, a foehn wind from the south will provide a few windows of sunshine in the northern Alps. At 2000 metres, -3 degrees on the Turrach and 2 degrees north of the Hochschwab. An Italian low will bring a few centimetres of new fallen snow on Thursday night.

The Adriatic low will bring about 10 cm of new fallen snow overnight. No significant change in the avalanche risk is expected.
