Fischbach Alps East, Wechsel

Low avalanche danger

Low avalanche danger

Avalanche danger is low. In regions where there is more snow on the ground, small wet-snow slides and loose-snow avalanches can release on very steep slopes. On steep grassy slopes or over leaf-covered ground, a sufficiently deep snowpack can glide downhill.

Due to strikingly higher temperatures the snowpack was able to settle up to high altitudes. During the night of clear skies the snowpack surface will consolidate. Solar radiation and extremely mild temperatures will make the snowpack forfeit its firmness on sunny slopes and destabilize it, generating more naturally triggered moist avalanches.

A powerful high over the Azores will extend as far as the Eastern Alps and determine weather conditions: mild and sunny. Light northerly winds, the zero-degree level will ascend to over 3000 m. At 2000 m: +8 degrees.

High-pressure front effects will persist until Tuesday, then turbulent conditions are expected and dropping temperatures. For the moment, no significant change
