Mürzsteg Alps

Some snowdrift in higher altitudes!

Some snowdrift in higher altitudes!

Moderate avalanche danger above 1.700 m. Rising danger spots due to stormy winds which are located in gullies and bowls above 1.600 m in the sectors east to south. Slab avalanches can be triggered with small additional loads.

In the southern Styrian mountains and easternmost alps the snowcover is still thin. New snow has landed on surface hoar - in sunny slopes on grass. The snow base is thicker in gullies and bowls due to transported snow. Possible weak layers within snowdrift as soft layers. Blown-off areas are hard and icy.

Ongoing Nordstau weather with low clouds. Monday night precipitation will intensify with thick snow in the morning. These are only getting lesser in the afternoon. Stormy to hurricane-like winds especially on summit areas. South ofcthe alps the weather conditions are better with scattered clouds and some isolated snow showers and stormy winds. Temperatures at noon: in the north -11 degrees in 2.000 m and -7 degrees in 1.500 m, in the south -9 respectively-6 degrees. On 25th scattered clouds to clear skies, the wind dies down and the temperatures are rising slowly. In 26th clear skies, mild temperatures are less winds.

Avalanche danger will not decrease before 26th.
