Isolated danger zones for wet-snow avalanches

Isolated danger zones for wet-snow avalanches

Avalanche danger is low. In isolated cases, small glide-snow or wet-snow avalanches can release in steep terrain which has not yet discharged or it can be triggered by persons.

On sunny slopes, the ground is becoming bare. What little snow there is, is moist-to-wet (0-degree isotherm) and often forms a crust capable of bearing loads after a night of clear skies. Daytime warming and solar radiation soften the crust and make it forfeit its firmness.

In the Lungau and Tauern, clouds will persist, elsewhere skies on Saturday night will be partially cloudy. On Sunday, clouds and fog will limit visibility to start with, but sunshine will come through during the morning hours. In the afternoon, convective cloud build-up will again limit visibility. Little wind. At 2000m: +2 to +8 degrees; at 3000m: -3 to 0 degrees.

Little change expected
