Savinja Alps and Carinthia

Some wet snow avalanche cannot be ruled out

Some wet snow avalanche cannot be ruled out

The snowpack is mostly well connected and generally stable. During the day, wet snow avalanches are possible in places.

Weak layers in old snow deeper in the snowpack also pose a minor danger. These weak layers are more common in the axis above the forest. In particular, a small to medium avalanche can be triggered by a large load exceeding the load-bearing capacity of these layers.

A cloudier night will only frost the snowpack at higher altitudes in the High alpine regions. During the day, the snow will become heavier and may become unstable in places.

In the old snow cover, the snow layers are mostly well connected. More or less deep below the surface, there are several weak layers of shreds and discontinuous grains, which are more frequent on axial slopes.

Monday will be mostly cloudy at first, with fog on higher peaks and slopes. Light showers cannot be ruled out. It will clear in the afternoon. East winds will pick up. Temperatures will be around 5 °C at 1500 m and -1 °C at 2500 m in the middle of the day.

Tuesday will be cloudier, with a possible chance of showers. The danger of avalanches will remain relatively low.
