Nock Mountains

Few avalanche prone locations

On sunny slopes the fresh snow (5-15 cm) will frequently fall on bare slopes at intermediate altitudes. The shallow old snowpack has settled well, is thoroughly wet and, on shady slopes, nearly 0-degree isotherm, with only few reserves of cold from last night. The precipitation can in isolated cases lead to a loss of firmness.

On Saturday, starkly reduced visibility due to clouds, fog, rain and snow. In early morning a cold front will pass through from the northwest, bringing stormy winds (gusts up to 80 km/hr) and plummeting temperatures of 10 degrees in a short span of time. At 2000 m: from 0 to -7 degrees. Snowfall level will rapidly descend down to low lying areas. On Sunday, low lying cloud cover will reduce visibility, light snowfall in Northern Alps and Tauern. Winds at high altitudes will be 50-70 cm from W/NW. At 2000 m: -8 degrees.

Few avalanche prone locations

Avalanche danger is LOW. Only few danger zones in outlying terrain. In very steep zones small, wet loose-snow avalanches can be triggered by the precipitation or additional loading.

The lower temperatures will have immediate effect: wet loose-snow avalanches will recede.
