Fischbach Alps East, Wechsel

Low avalanche danger. Poor snow layering on the north side!

Low avalanche danger. Poor snow layering on the north side!

The avalanche danger is low. In the extremely steep north-facing gullies at high altitudes, the possibility of a snow slab being triggered cannot be ruled out.

There is currently little change in the snow cover, snowpack. On the north side, the kinetic metamorphism is weakening the snow base, fundament. Angular shapes or cup crystals form weak layers. A melt-freeze crust has formed on the sunny slope, but it is not always stable. The snowpack depths are below average.

Most of the peaks on the southern side of the Alps are still covered in fog at night, with occasional drizzle. Along the northern slopes of the Niedere Tauern and in the northern Alps, southerly foehn winds will ensure clear conditions. On Sunday, the mountains on the southern side of the Alps will quickly clear above an altitude of around 1200 metres, with the sun coming out at lower altitudes around midday. The northern Alps will be cloudless all day with good visibility. Along the main Tauern ridge and in the Limestone Alps there will be brisk to stormy south to south-easterly winds. The temperature at an altitude of 2000 metres is around -2 degrees. The temperature at an altitude of 1500 metres is between -5 and -2 degrees. Brisk winds with gusts between 40 and 60 km/h from the south.

The avalanche danger remains low. Little change on Monday. Strong southerly foehn winds in dry air on the main ridge. No snow in sight at the moment!
