Türnitzer Alpen

Note isolated snowdrift accumulations

At higher altitudes, fresh snowdrift accumulations often lie on soft layers of snow, which can act as a weak layer. In addition, some rain and brief warming has partially moistened the snow cover, where a melt-freeze crust has formed with renewed cooling. In general, there is little snow.

Note isolated snowdrift accumulations

The avalanche danger is low. There are only a few fresh snowdrift accumulations in gullies and bowls and behind exposed broad ridges and ridgelines. These can be triggered as small slab avalanches. The risk of falling outweighs the risk of burial.

It snowed a little in the evening and in the first half of the night on Sunday, mostly in the Türnitz Alps. During the first few hours of Sunday, the mountain peaks in Lower Austria were still covered in dense clouds, but during the daytime changes the weather softened and the sun appeared more often and for longer periods. The wind will be exposed and blowing strongly from the north-west. It will be much colder again, with temperatures of around -13 degrees at 1500 metres and -10 degrees at 1000 metres.

After a sunny start on Monday, it will become increasingly cloudy from the west, with light snowfall in the afternoon. With moderate westerly winds, it will become much milder at all altitudes. Little change in the avalanche risk.
