There will be low danger of avalanches

There will be low danger of avalanches

The snowpack is stable and the danger of wet snow avalanches is relatively low. A small avalanche may occur during the day.

The snowpack is well transformed, cohesive and stable. At night, the snowpack will only freeze in the highest parts of the high alpine regions. During the day, snow will be soft everywhere, with zero isotherm at altitudes around 2700 m above sea level.

Even in the high alpine regions, the snow is relatively light for this time of year. Some showers or thunderstorms may occur in the mountains in the afternoon, with snow only on the highest peaks of the Julian Mountains.

There will be some clearing in the morning, but it will become cloudy everywhere in the morning, so that peaks will often be foggy. Showers and some thunderstorms will start to form from the north-west in the afternoon. Temperatures will be around 8 °C at 1500 m and 2 °C at 2500 m by mid-day.

Precipitation will spread during the night into Wednesday. Snow will fall only on the highest peaks, with light winds in the high alpine regions. The snowfall level will decrease overnight. The danger of avalanches will increase transiently. New fallen snow will be a problem only in the highest parts of the high alpine regions. There, 10-20 cm of New fallen snow will fall. Smaller wet snow avalanches or even gliding avalanches may be triggered at lower elevations.
