Small, spontaneous wet snow avalanches during the daytime changes

The avalanche risk is low. In very few places in the terrain, small wet slab avalanches or loose snow avalanches are possible due to additional load or spontaneously. This increases the risk of avalanches in the fall terrain.

There is still snow in shady locations or at high altitudes, but sunny steep terrain often no longer has a large area of continuous snowpack up to at least medium altitudes or has already tapped out. The snow surface is usually crusted in the morning and softens in the morning depending on the exposure. In the Nockberge mountains, however, the strong wind slows down the snowmaking process.

After a clear night, it is very sunny on Friday, thin veil clouds far above summit level do not disturb. Visibility is very good. The wind is hardly disturbing, only in the Nockberge it blows briskly to strongly from west to north-west reaching speeds of up to 50 km/h. At 1500 m 3 to 12 degrees, at 2000 m 2 to 7 degrees.
