Türnitzer Alpen

Little snow, the snow is falling.

Little snow, the snow is falling.

The avalanche risk is low. Small loose snow slides from slopes that have not yet been unloaded cannot be completely ruled out, but most areas have already been unloaded.

Due to the very mild weather, the snowpack is damp and wet up to high altitudes. Only on northern slopes was a melt-freeze crust able to form in places. The faceted crystals, which have long weakened the foundation of the snowpack in shady gullies, have been largely transformed by rain and melting. There is usually only a little snow up to the summit regions.

The evening and night will be mostly dry, but a few patches of cloud will pass through. After an at least partly sunny Wednesday morning, more cumulus clouds will form from the Semmering-Wechsel region from midday. In the afternoon, there will be a few rain or snow showers, with local sleet showers also possible. The snowfall level will be above summit level. The temperature at 1500 metres above sea level will be between 1 and 7 degrees. The wind is usually light with gusts between 20 and 40 km/h from the south to north-west.

From Thursday, high pressure will prevail and temperatures will remain very mild. The avalanche risk remains low.
