New fallen snow - strong northerly winds in the high alpine regions

Avalanche and weather conditions will remain challenging. Around 10 cm of new fallen snow can be expected on Friday. Strong northerly winds will continue to blow, carrying New fallen snow.

As the cold front passes, 40-60 cm of dry and light snow is expected to fall in the mountains, which will not adhere well to the old snow base. The previous snowfall may have locally produced a potentially dangerous weak layer of Graupel. In the old snow cover, the snow layers are mostly well interconnected.

Cloudy and foggy with snow showers, heaviest in the morning and afternoon. Strong northerly winds with gusts of 70-100 km/h. It will cool down significantly. By mid-day, the temperature at 1500 m will be around -4 °C. Combined with the low temperatures, the feeling of cold in the mountains will be pronounced!

New fallen snow - strong northerly winds in the high alpine regions

On Thursday it will snow, with a snowfall level around 700 m during the day. In the mountains, a greater amount of fresh snow will fall, 40-60 cm is expected. Strong north-easterly winds will pick up during the day, carrying New fallen snow and building up new snow layers on the southern sides.

New fallen snow and blowing snow are the main dangers. Danger is increased especially in sloping terrain and in ravines where the height of New fallen snow is higher due to snow accumulations. In the mountains, bonded snow will not adhere well to the old snow base.

Conditions are challenging, with strong winds that may cause windfalls below the tree line. We advise against visiting the mountains!
