Low avalanche danger!

Low avalanche danger!

The avalanche risk is low. Only on steep slopes at higher altitudes with a sufficiently thick snowpack are small, sometimes medium, wet snow avalanches possible during the day in all aspects due to rain.

The snowpack cannot firmness on the surface overnight due to frequent cloud cover and possible showers. Due to rain during the day, it is soft, soaked or soaked through to the higher elevations and has little firmness. In the interior, it is already damp to wet up to high altitudes anyway, making it unstable. Low and medium altitudes are often covered in snow.

On Sunday, rain and snow showers will move through with mainly dense clouds. In the afternoon, thunderstorms will bring heavy showers and strong gusts of wind. The snowfall level will drop from around 2100 metres to 1800 metres during the day. The north-westerly wind will freshen up and bring a cooling effect; at 1500 m the temperature will drop from 8 to 5 degrees, at 2000 m from 4 to 1 degree. On Monday, the weather will be windy and changeable. Lots of clouds alternating with sunshine. There will be a few showers, especially in the Limestone Alps, and the snowfall level will be around 1200 metres above sea level. At 1500 metres it will be around 2 degrees, at 2000 metres around -2 degrees. The north-westerly wind will reach speeds of around 40 km/h.

As the weather cools down, the danger of wet snow avalanches decreases somewhat.
