Low avalanche danger with mostly little snow.
Avalanche Activity
Low avalanche danger with mostly little snow.
The avalanche risk is low. In extremely steep gullies or bowls on shady slopes, the triggering of small slab avalanches cannot be completely ruled out.
Snowpack Structure
There is still significantly less snow than average. A thin, partly bound snowpack covers a very variable and mostly hard old snowpack. In shady gullies and bowls, the connection between the bound snowpack and the old snowpack is sometimes poor. In addition, angular shapes can weaken the snow base, fundament.
Weather Forecast
Fog and high fog will persist on Monday night. In the south and east, but especially along the peripheral mountains, snow drizzle or small snowflakes will fall in many places. Monday will often be sunny and dry in the Styrian mountains. Only the high fog will remain over the foothills with an upper limit around 1300 metres above sea level. On the slopes of the peripheral mountains, it may snow or drizzle at times. The temperature at an altitude of 2000 metres will be around -6 degrees. The temperature at an altitude of 1500 metres will be between -7 and -4 degrees. Winds will be weak to moderate with gusts between 20 and 40 km/h from south to west.
Tendency
No change in the avalanche risk is expected. On Tuesday, the wind will be temporarily lively, even strong in exposed high areas. Apart from that, the programme will start out with sunny leisure weather, with the first extensive cloud fields arriving in the afternoon. In the evening it will become cloudy from the south, with rain and snowfall becoming more frequent during the night into Wednesday and on Wednesday itself, with the snowfall level expected to be around 1300 metres from today's perspective.
