Snowpack Structure
The snowpack is stable. The small amount of fresh snow has settled and become melt-freeze encrusted in the strong sun. Very isolated shallow snowdrift accumulations are unlikely to trigger. Warmth and rainfall could soften up the snowpack.
Weather Synopsis
On Wednesday, severely reduced visibility due to dense clouds. Light to moderate precipitation, esp. in the Northern Alps. In the eastern Tauern and Nockberge, dry. Snowfall level will ascend to nearly 2000 m. In the afternoon, mostly dry, brisk southerly foehn wind will disperse some clouds. At 2000 m: 0 degrees; at 3000 m: -5 degrees.
Tendency
Thursday: a cold front will bring lower temperatures, lots of fresh snowfall plus wind. Avalanche danger levels will increase significantly.
Avalanche Activity
Favorable situation
Avalanche danger is LOW. Only few danger zones for dry-snow slab avalanches in extremely steep terrain at high altitudes. Very isolated snowdrift accumulations can be triggered in extremely steep terrain. Weak layers deeply embedded in the snowpack are unlikely to trigger. Wet slides possible in extremely steep terrain.
