Savinja Alps and Carinthia

There will be low danger of avalanches

There will be low danger of avalanches

The old snow cover is mostly well transformed, cohesive and stable. The danger of wet snow avalanches has been reduced. Only a few Avalanches will be possible.

A small amount of new snow has fallen in recent days, especially in the high alpine regions. Smaller snow accumulations have formed and may be potentially unstable.

If the weather clears, the snowpack will freeze more markedly at night. During the day, the snow will become heavier again. During the day, the zero isotherm will rise to an altitude of around 2400 m.

In recent days, 5 to 10 cm of New fallen snow has fallen above about 2000 m. Precipitation has been patchy with showers.

Even in the high alpine regions, showers have been quite heavy.

The layers of snow in the old snow cover are mostly well connected. Individual weak layers of faceted snow crystals and discontinuous grains occur more or less deep below the surface, and are more frequent on arable slopes above 1800 m.

Friday will be mostly clear, with only a few clouds forming during the day. Winds will be mainly from the north. It will be warmer. Temperatures will be around 11 °C at 1500 m and 2 °C at 2500 m.

At the end of the week it will be quite clear and warmer every day. The snowpack will be hard and frosty in the morning. It will become a little heavier again during the day. Avalanches of packed snow will be possible, especially in the high alpine regions where there is still some unprocessed snow.
