Rising danger of wet-snow avalanches inside this danger level

Rising danger of wet-snow avalanches inside this danger level

Avalanche danger is LOW. Due to solar radiation and higher temperatures, danger of wet-snow avalanches rises somewhat during the daytime. On extremely steep (>40°) sunny slopes, isolated small wet loose-snow avalanches are possible. In addition, on steep grassy slopes isolated naturally triggered glide-snow avalanches are possible.

The snowpack is moist in all aspects, thoroughly wet down to the groundon sunny slopes. On Tuesday night, skies will be heavily overcast, no outgoing radiation will be possible. Solar radiation and daytime temperatures will further weaken the snowpack. Below the treeline there is little snow on the ground.

On Wednesday, sunshine, good visibility. During the day some harmless clouds will pass through, more convective cloud build-up is expected in the Tauern and Lungau. Winds will be light from the west, brisk southerly winds on the Main Alpine Ridge. At 2000 m: 1-4 degres; at 3000 m: -3 degrees.

No significant change is expected. Isolated small wet-snow and glide-snow avalanches possible.
