Spontaneous wet-snow avalanches from steep terrain possible at any time!

Spontaneous wet-snow avalanches from steep terrain possible at any time!

The avalanche danger is moderate above 1.600 m. Danger spots are located in steep shady slopes. There spontaneous loose-snow avalanches are possible any time or can be triggered by an individual. On smooth surfaces gliding-snow avalanches are still possible. Avoid areas below glide cracks. Avalanches are small to medium sized.

Above 1.600 m up to 20 cm new snow has fallen (only little wind) in the northern Alps and Niedere Tauern. The loose new snow will soon get unstable due to warming and sun radiation. The snowcover is isothermal and till high altitudes wet or moist. On southern exposed sloped the snow has almost fully retreated and the retreatment increases.

After a partially cloudy night, Saturday morning will be almost cloudless and during the day it will stay sunny. Weak to moderate southwesterly winds. Temperatures in 2.000 m are between +4 and +9 degrees.

The Easter Sunday will be sunny and mild. The retreatment of the snowcover increases and the avalanche danger decreases.
