Türnitzer Alpen

Wet snow problems at lower altitudes. Occasional prone to triggering wind slab in the higher elevations!

Low cloud and fog will persist on Tuesday night. Local patches of early morning fog in the valleys will gradually clear and the sun will shine from a bright blue sky on the mountains from the start. It will be very mild at high altitudes. The north-westerly wind will ease considerably compared to the last few days and will mostly be weak to moderate. The temperature will rise from +3 degrees to +7 degrees at 1000 metres.

The avalanche situation remains tense.

The avalanche risk is moderate (level 2). Spontaneous wet snow avalanches and smaller gliding avalanches can occur in steep slope zones, including forest slopes or on embankments. Due to persistent stormy north-westerly winds, isolated fresh drift snow packs are prone to triggering. Especially in the north-east to south-east sectors, slab avalanches can be triggered in a few places by individual winter sports enthusiasts.

In many locations, the snowpack was soaked by rain and often dissolved completely. With a highly variable snowfall level, some new fallen snow fell at higher altitudes, which became increasingly moistened and lost firmness during the day. Existing fresh snow packs are only occasionally prone to triggering (on shady slopes) and settle during the daytime changes.
