Low avalanche danger, but caution urged towards wet slides

Low avalanche danger, but caution urged towards wet slides

Avalanche danger is low. As a result of higher daytime temperatures, naturally triggered slides can be expected, but releases will be small, the danger of taking a fall outweighs that of being buried in snow.

The snowpack has settled. It is moist up to high altitudes. In the afternoon some fresh snow will be deposited between Turracher Höhe and Hochschwaben region.

On Tuesday morning the next pertubance will arrive. The summit of Northern Alps and Niedere Tauern will disappear in fog, light-to-moderate snowfall will set in (or rain). Winds will shift to NW, temperatures will drop. In the afternoon the snowfall level will descend to 1200-1600m. On the southern flank of the Alps very little sunshine but better visibility. Some precipitation in the eastern rimline ranges around midday. At 2000 m: 0 degrees.
