Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger at high altitudes

Low avalanche danger prevails. Some small snowdrift patches have been generated at high altitudes, otherwise exposed zones are windblown, hardened or even iced-over. In these areas there is a risk of taking a fall. Poor visibility can be expected.

Snowpack Structure

As in the more recent periods of snowfall, this region will get noticeably less than in the NW, thus the generation of drifts will also be limited. These will cover hardened surfaces or bare ground.

Weather Synopsis

Monday will be gloomy with heavy, low lying clouds. Particularly in the northern barrier cloud regions (esp. Dachstein to Hochschwab region) can expect moderate but persistent snowfall. Poor visibility. Strong-to-stormy N/NW winds will be blowing. Temperature at 1500 m: -6 degrees; at 2000 m: -10 degrees.

Tendency

On Tuesday conditions will improve. Residual cloud will disperse, sunshine will come to the fore. Still strong N/NE winds will be blowing. At 2000 m: -7 degrees. Snowdrift accumulations require high caution.
