Avalanche Activity

Gliding avalanches are possible due to thawing

On Thursday, precipitation started to appear, with rain outside the highest peaks. On Friday night, the precipitation intensified, the snow line quickly dropped and snow fell to the lowlands. Areas of blowing snow may appear around the peaks, built up by moderate to strong winds from northerly directions. Wet snow avalanches are possible due to the thaw, and gliding avalanches are possible on steeper grassy slopes.

Snowpack Structure

There is little old snow cover, with snow only on the highest peaks. 30-50 cm of New fallen snow has fallen during this snowfall, possibly more in the eastern part of Pohorje and Kobansko.

Weather Forecast

Moderate to mostly cloudy, with cloud base over the tops. Mostly light northerly winds. Temperature at 1500 m will be around 0 °C.

Tendency

Snow and weather conditions will be similar in the coming days. Under the influence of warmer weather, the snow will start to transform more quickly.
