Snowpack Structure

The snowpack is stable. The small amount of fresh snow has settled and become melt-freeze encrusted in the strong sun. In exposed terrain there are small, shallow snowdrift accumulations which are unlikely to trigger. Higher daytime temperatures and some solar radiation will further soften the snowpack.

Weather Synopsis

On Tuesday, dense cloud, frequently precipitation from the NW, reducing visibility. The snowfall level will lie at 1500-1900 m, then descend in the northern regions to 1300 m in the evening. The Lungau Nockberge will be drier, clouds will disperse in the afternoon. Brisk to strong W/NW winds. At 2000 m: 0 degrees; at 3000 m: -7 degrees.

Tendency

Low avalanche danger.

Avalanche Activity

Favorable situation

Avalanche danger is LOW. Only few danger zones for dry-snow slab avalanches in extremely steep terrain at high altitudes. Small fresh snowdrift accumulations there can trigger in isolated cases. Weak layers deeply embedded in the snowpack are unlikely to trigger.
