Latent gliding snow problem
Avalanche danger is MODERATE. Naturally triggered wet-snow and glide-snow avalanches are expected, mostly medium sized, also larger, these can plummet down to ground where there is no snow on the ground.
Snowpack Structure
A melt-freeze crust will form at night, fresh snow will be deposited on top of it. On north-facing slopes, medium-sized glide-snow avalanches are still possible. On sunny slopes there is too little snow. Due to loss of firmness, avalanches can sweep along huge snow masses in their plummet path, even reach greenlands.
Weather Forecast
Strong southerly foehn wind in the evening in the Tauern, then a cold front will move through from the west. In Lungau and Nockbege, hardly any precipitation. On Wednesday, overcast skies, then clouds will disperse and it will turn sunny. Brisk NW winds. At 2000 m: -3 or -2 degrees; at 3000 m: -6 to -4 degrees.
Tendency
On Thursday, warmer and sunny. Loose-snow activity will increase somewhat. Gliding snow activity will persist.
