Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger. Wet-snow situation.

Low avalanche danger prevails. Nevertheless, the danger of wet-snow and glide-snow avalanches in steep zones which have not yet discharged increases during the daytime due to solar radiation and rising temperatures.

Snowpack Structure

Due to springtime temperatures and solar radiation, the firmness regained at night is quickly lost. Due to moistness and weness, the largely isotherm snowpack destabilizes and tends towards naturally triggered slides. The slopes are becoming bare of snow, backcountry touring possibilities are already limited.

Weather Synopsis

Thursday will begin with pleasant conditions throughout Styria, but for a few harmless clouds and dust from the Sahara which will disturb the atmosphere and hamper the sunshine somewhat. As of midday in the Northern Alps and Niedere Tauern, convective cloud build-up can be expected, a bit of rainfall is also possible. At 1500 m at midday: +13 degrees; at 2000 m: +8 degrees. Mostly moderate SW winds.

Tendency

On Friday, some clouds, a few showers. Temperatures will drop slightly. At midday +7 degrees at 1500 m, +3 degrees at 2000 m. The wet snow situation will persist due to daytime warming and rainfall from place to place.
