Low avalanche danger but isolated danger zones due to snowdrifts at high altitudes

Avalanche danger above the treeline is low, but there are isolated danger zones at high altitudes in northern aspects where near ridgelines or at entries into steep gullies the snowdrifts can trigger small-to-medium slab avalanches.

The fundament is stable by and large, but moist down to the ground. Some fresh snowfall has been registered which was transported to north-facing slopes by southerly winds. Fresh drifts lie deposited atop loose fresh snow and are still instable.

A Mediterranean low will bring mild, moist air masses to Styria on Tuesday. The SW airstream is full of clouds, few bright intervals are expected. On the southern flank of the Alps during the course of the day, minor precipitation, snowfall level at 1500 m. The SE/SW winds will be mostly light, brisker on the eastern rim of the Alps. At 2000 m: +1 degree; at 1500 m: +4 degrees Also on Wednesday, the SW airstream will continue. A bit milder. Above 2000 m minor snow showers are possible.

Gliding snow and wet snow activity will increase somewhat, the snowdrift problem will recede.
