Very isolated glide-snow/wet-snow avalanches in steep terrain

Avalanche danger is generally low. On steep slopes in all aspects, isolated naturally triggered glide-snow and wet-snow avalanches can be expected.

Due to rain impact and marked rise in temperatures on Saturday the snowpack became wetter and glided over smooth ground. Due to the forecast drop in temperatures it will regain firmness. The slopes are becoming bare of snow, sufficient snow exists only above the treeline. The mountains around Graz and Wechsel are already without snow.

At night a weak cold front will reach the Eastern Alps from the northwest. Monday will begin with heavy cloud cover, the peaks in fog, intermittent light-to-moderate snowfall on the northern flank of the Alps, snowfall level at 1300 m. Isolated showers possibly spreading to the south. The NW winds mostly moderate. At 2000 m: -4 degrees; at 1500 m: 0 degrees. Also on Tuesday in northern Upper Styria, variable conditions, minor snowfall, most of the peaks in fog. Further south, clouds will disperse, intermittent sunshine. Moderate winds, temperatures dropping somewhat.

Avalanche danger will remain low.
