  • Wet snow

Snowpack Structure

The outgoing longwave radiation at night is poor and the snow cover remains largely moistened to isothermal due to the warmth. In places, you can still find small pillows of wind drifted snow adjacent to ridgelines, but most of the terrain is already tapped out.

Avalanche Activity

Small wet snow avalanches in snowy places

The avalanche risk is low. Small, spontaneous wet snow slides can occur from slopes that have not yet been discharged in all aspects. Wet snow slides triggered by winter sports increase the risk of entrainment in the fall terrain.

Weather Forecast

During the night, dense clouds will move through again and again. Temperatures at 2000 metres around +4 degrees. Tomorrow, Monday, dense clouds will build up from the south and visibility will be very limited in the Nockberge mountains. Further north, denser clouds will continue to move through, but the sun will also appear from time to time. In the afternoon, spring clouds may bring isolated showers. Temperatures at 2000 m 4 to 9 degrees. Sahara dust will also be in the air again.

Tendency

Gradual reduction of the avalanche risk due to melting and raining away of the remaining snow.
