Lower Tauern North

Favorable situation

Atop a melt-freeze crust (or else, bare ground) loosely-packed snow lies deposited. Surface hoar has often been blanketed. On sunny slopes the snow is sticky. The fundament on shady steep slopes is often weak, but the weak layer is varied and the slab shallow.

On Monday, visibility often limited in the morning hours due to clouds and fog; later on, improving. In afternoon, sunshine in some places. Gray skies most persistent in the Lungau. Winds light to moderate from W/N. At 2000m: -10 to -6 degrees.

No significant change in danger levels anticipated

Favorable situation

Avalanche danger is low. Triggering a small slab is possible in only few places, most endangered are shady slopes in very steep terrain above 2000m. In isolated cases a small glide-snow avalanche is possible. Isolated small naturally triggered glide-snow avalanches possible.
