Low avalanche danger

Low avalanche danger

The avalanche risk is low. As the day warms up and the sun shines, the probability of triggering wet avalanches increases slightly during the day. Wet snow avalanches are possible in isolated cases on steep slopes that have not yet been discharged. Overall, only small avalanches are currently to be expected.

The previously moist snowpack was able to consolidate due to the low temperatures. On shady slopes at high altitudes, weak layers of deep rime are still present in the persistent weak layer. Low and sunny slopes are completely snowed out.

The last showers will subside in the evening hours today and the sky will clear more and more during the night into Wednesday. Wednesday itself will begin quite sunny in the southern mountain regions. In the north, however, there will be fog or low cloud. Later, a few spring clouds will also make themselves felt in the south. However, no showers are to be expected. The most sunshine will be in western Upper Styria. The temperature at an altitude of 2000 metres will be between -5 and 1 degree. There will be strong winds with gusts of around 50 km/h from the north.

This is followed by several days of very sunny and dry weather. The sky is even cloudless for long stretches. With the increasing warming and sunshine, the activity of wet snow avalanches increases again.
