Kaiser Mountains - Waidring Alps

Wet snow slides and avalanches are still possible.

Wet snow slides and avalanches are still possible.

The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will already be soft in the early morning. Already in the late morning individual small to medium-sized wet loose snow avalanches are possible. This applies in all aspects. In addition individual small and medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. As the day progresses as a consequence of the moist air there will be an additional increase in the danger of wet and gliding avalanches.

As a consequence of mild temperatures and very cloudy skies the snowpack can not consolidate during the night. The surface of the snowpack will already be soft in the early morning. The high humditiy will give rise as the day progresses to a loss of strength within the snowpack below approximately 2400 m. Below the tree line from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

Wet and gliding avalanches are the main danger.
