Mürzsteg Alps

Low avalanche danger, occasional small wet snow slides possible

Low avalanche danger, occasional small wet snow slides possible

The avalanche risk is low. Small wet snow slides can occur occasionally in all aspects, especially from multiple starting zones that have not yet been fully discharged. Wet snow slides triggered by winter sports increase the risk of entrainment in the fall terrain.

The thin, mostly isothermal snowpack can hardly consolidate overnight and softens quickly. There is only a little snow left.

The high pressure slowly subsides. Dusty desert air moves over the Styrian mountains overnight and allows the low humidity in the air to condense. As a result, there is dense cloud throughout the mountains, but most of the peaks are clear and it remains dry. Dense clouds will also predominate in the Styrian mountains on Monday. The peaks are likely to be shrouded in fog more often, especially in the morning. In the afternoon, however, visibility should be good with higher cloud levels. The sun may appear briefly in places. Scattered rain showers are not expected until the evening at the earliest. The southerly foehn will already be noticeable in the night to Monday and will pick up a little during the day. It will be stormy at times on the mountains, especially north of the main Alpine ridge. The temperature at an altitude of 2,000 metres will be between +3 and +7 degrees.

With the April weather, moisture penetration and snow loss progress.
