Small snowdrift accumulations have been generated due to fresh snow and wind

The small amount of fresh snow still results in only low avalanche danger. As a result of fresh snow and strong westerly winds, small snowdrift accumulations are prone to triggering at high altitudes. Risks of falling need to be taken into consideration.

Amid intermittently moderate winds, snow has been intensively transported. At low altitudes there is very little snow on the ground, conserved due to the low temperatures.

Nighttime hours: On the Arlberg and in the Montafon, clear and ice-cold nocturnal skies. In Vorderwald and Rhine Valley, heavy cloud cover from the north. Friday: compact cloud cover will shroud many peaks from the north, a bit of minor snowfall is possible. In the Rätikon and Silvretta, sunny intervals are possible. Fog, cold, wind will make it inhospitable. At 2000 m: -14 degrees. Moderate northerly winds

Saturday will have heavily clouded skies, hardly any sun, light intermittent snowfall. Southern regions will have somewhat better conditions. It will be very cold and, in the mountains, windy. The settling and consolidating will be slowed by the low temperatures. Thus, avalanche danger will decrease only incrementally.
