Nock Mountains

Small-sized loosely-packed snow avalanches are possible.

Small-sized loosely-packed snow avalanches are possible.

Avalanche danger is low. In extremely steep terrain, small-sized loose snow avalanches can release due to solar radiation. In isolated cases near ridgelines, there are freshly generated snowdrift masses which can, however, only trigger a slab avalanche in general by large additional loading.

Loosely-packed fresh fallen snow lies deposited atop a well settled and consolidated base or on bare ground. The snowpack is not sufficiently thick in all places for snow sports in outlying terrain.

The nocturnal hours will be star-studded, then some high-altitude cloudbanks will move in from the northeast. Wednesday will start with high-altitude cloudbanks, visibility somewhat limited in high-alpine terrain from Hochkönig, Dachstein and the eastern Hohe Tauern. Mostly dry, perhaps a few snowflakes. Clouds will continue to disperse and the sun will ultimately come through. Widns mostly light, in high-alpine terrain moderate to brisk from the northeast. Temperatures: at 2000m: -4 degrees; at 3000m: -9 degrees.

Danger expected to remain constant
