Nock Mountains

Little snow, low avalanche danger.

Little snow, low avalanche danger.

The avalanche danger is low. Small, spontaneous sliding snow avalanches are possible from very steep, as yet undischarged grass mat terrain.

There is often little snow and the lower elevations are becoming increasingly thin. The existing snow cover has been moistened by the rain right up to the summit regions. The snow surface is usually hardened. The entire snow cover can slide off on slippery ground. In the shaded summit areas, there are still isolated weak layers of angular crystals in the snow cover.

Thursday night will be partly foggy in the valleys, but only partly cloudy above the fog cover. Visibility will be good on Thursday. However, the sun will temporarily fade into the background. Extensive cloud fields as the foothills of a weak cold front move over the peaks. The summits themselves will remain clear. Temperature at 2000m: 0 to 3 degrees, at 3000m: around -3 degrees. High-altitude wind: mostly only weakly windy.

Little change, the avalanche danger remains low. Isolated small sliding snow avalanches are still possible.
