Hochschwab Mountains

Persistent weak layer problem in the northern sector!

During the night, the snowpack gains some firmness... The thawing is progressing! In the northern sector there is still a persistent weak layer problem in the Niedere Tauern, in the Hochschwab area but also in the Gruk and Seetal Alps above 1900 metres.

Persistent weak layer problem in the northern sector!

The avalanche risk is low. Wet loose snow avalanches cannot be ruled out in isolated cases on extremely steep terrain. In the Gurk and Seetal Alps, the triggering of a snow avalanche in the northern sector on extremely steep slopes cannot be ruled out.

The evening will bring a few showers in the western mountains of Upper Styria, then after midnight it will be dry everywhere with a few patches of cloud moving through. Wednesday starts with residual clouds, with some high fog over the valleys. Very soon, however, very sunny weather will prevail for a few hours before more cumulus clouds form again in the afternoon. Visibility will deteriorate in places and some rain, snow or sleet showers will be possible, especially in the eastern mountains.

High pressure will bring sunshine and mild temperatures. Slight daytime changes in the avalanche risk are expected.
