Lower Tauern North

Danger of falling outweighs that of being buried in snow masses

Danger of falling outweighs that of being buried in snow masses

Avalanche danger is low. Isolated small loose-snow naturally triggered avalanches are possible or can be triggered by one sole skier. Danger zones for small slab avalanches in the snowdrifts occur seldom on very steep N/E facing slopes at high altitudes. On steep grass-covered slopes, isolated small glide-snow avalanches are possible.

Atop a shallow, generally stable snowpack, which at intermediate altitudes is already 0 degrees isotherm and on sunny slopes at high altitudes has melt-freeze forms, about 10-25 of fresh snow has been registered, without much wind impact. During daytime hours, another 5-10cm of fresh snow is expected.

On Sunday clouds will remain dense, a few snow showers are possible, limited visibility. Over large valles in Pinzgau and Pongau, bright intervals are possible. In afternoon north of the Tennengebirge, snowfall will set in, later on extending to the south. Along the Main Alpine Ridge, rainfall initially possible up to 1800m, the snowfall level subsequently dropping to 1000m. Winds mostly light from the north. at high altitudes in the Tauern also from the south. At 2000m: -4 to -2 degrees; at 3000m: -7 degrees.

Repeated bouts of fresh snowfall, little wind influence.
