Low avalanche danger. Only few danger spots are found in high altitude steep beginning of gullies and bowls. Slab avalanche s can be triggered by high additional loads but are only small sized. Danger of being swept away or buried. Risk of falling.

Full snow cover only in high shady slops which is being damaged due to strong foehnwind. Exposed areas are blown off and bare or icy. Old snow cover only in gullies and bowls which can be weakened by faceted snow crystals.

Sunday night the warm front clears and a low pressure system coming from Great Britain causes a strong southwesterly current. Dense clouds in southern and western regions. Sunny weather is possible in the northern alps. Southern accumulation of clouds and some rain. Vivid to strong southwesterly winds, stormy in southern and eastern regions. The temperatures will be around 5-7 degrees in 2.000. Southwards of Niedere Tauern around 0 degrees in 2.000 m.

On Tuesday a coldfront will come through and an Italian low pressure system will cause cooling and new snow predominantly in the southwest. Wet snow is decreasing and fresh snowdrift occurs. The avalanche danger will slightly increase.
