Southern Julian Prealps

Increased amount of new snow in the highest parts of the mid-mountains, snowdrift accumulations

More new fallen snow and snowdrift accumulations in the highest parts of the Central Mountains

In the mountains, a significant amount of new snow has fallen over the last two days above an altitude of around 1500 m. Lower down, it has snowed partly (wetter snow) and rained partly. Winds from the south and south-east have built up snow drifts on the leeward sides, which can be a danger.

The old snow cover, which was mostly sparse, received 50-60 cm of new fallen snow above an altitude of around 1500 m, and more locally, especially in the south of the country. The snow is moist throughout the snowpack and is already fairly well bonded to each other. Winds from the south and south-east have built up on the leeward sides of the ridges.

Cloudy and foggy in parts, breaking in the high alpine regions. Mostly dry. Moderate south-westerly winds in the morning, weakening during the day. Temperatures will be around 1 °C at 1500 m and -4 °C at 2500 m.

On Sunday, there will be more clear weather in the mountains, with a relatively high zero isotherm at around 1600 m. The avalanche danger will increase slightly at times, with the possibility of wet snow avalanches.
