Fischbach Alps East, Wechsel

Low avalanche danger, but isolated wet snow slides!

Low avalanche danger, but isolated wet snow slides!

The avalanche risk is low. However, small, spontaneous wet snow slides can occur at low altitudes, e.g. from wooded areas and also at higher altitudes on the sunny slopes. In the extremely steep north-facing gullies at high altitudes, a snow slab release cannot be ruled out.

The persistent weak layer problem is easing due to the warming, but the snow can become wet and therefore unstable at medium altitudes and on sunny slopes.

The coming night will be clear at first, with the first clouds moving in from the west after midnight. On Thursday, a band of cloud will cross Styria from the west. Sunshine will be more limited at times, but there will be no precipitation. Towards the evening, the clouds will soften again from the west. The temperature at an altitude of 2000 metres will be around 4 degrees. The temperature at an altitude of 1500 metres will be between 1 and 5 degrees. Moderate winds with gusts of around 40 km/h from the south to north-west. The snowfall level will be between the valleys and around 2000 metres above sea level. No new fallen snow is expected.

Slowly but surely, the temperature is also dropping again at all altitudes. The avalanche risk remains low.
