Low avalanche danger but isolated danger zones due to drifts

Low avalanche danger but isolated danger zones due to drifts

Low avalanche danger, but above the treeline on E/S facing slopes isolated snowdrift masses in transitions from steep gullies and bowls and behind discontinuities can trigger as slab avalanches.

Some fresh snowdrifts have been deposited atop a generally stable and melt-freeze encrusted snowpack surface, mostly on E/W facing slopes. The bonding to the old snowpack is generally good and inside the fresh snow are only isolated weak layers. The base is moist.

On Wednesday weather conditions will settle down. From the north, heav clouds will move over the Northern Alps and Main Alpine Ridge, visibility will be reduced, light snowfall is expected, snowfall level at 1000 m, rising slightly during the course of the day. In afternoon, clouds will disperse. South of the Main Alpine Ridge, mostly sunshine and dry. Winds will be strong from northwest, slacken off towards evening. At 2000 m: -3 in the north to 0 degrees in the south of Styria.

On Thursday, scattered clouds with sunshine, rising temperatures. Avalanche danger remains low.
