Avalanche danger low but danger spots due to fresh in snowdrift deposits above the tree line.

The Avalanche danger is generally low but above the tree in Niedere Tauern few danger spots are located. Caution: fresh driftsnow deposits adjacent to ridgelines in the eastern sector. Accumulating easterly snowdrifts in areas adjacent to ridgelines. Small additional load could trigger small slab avalanches.

South of the Alps the snow base is small without significant weak layers. In high shady slopes some spores with faceted snow layers are located which provide little stability. On Sunday in Niedere Tauern and the eastern sector drift snow deposits will form which are not sufficient connected with the snow base.

North of Alpenhauptkamm winterly weather is called for Sunday. the northwesterly wind causes foehn-like loosening of the cloud cover and only little snow is to expect. Dense clouds in the mountains and snow in the valleys are to expect. Southern of the Niedere Tauern few centimeters of new snow are possible. South of Mur-Mürzfurche no new snow is called. Vivid strong winds from northwest. Temperatures in 2.000 m AMSL are winterly from -8 to -9 degrees C.

The weather will calm down on Monday, avalanche danger stays low.
