Low avalanche danger, but isolated avalanche prone locations due to fresh drifts

Low avalanche danger, but isolated avalanche prone locations due to fresh drifts

Avalanche danger is low. Isolated danger zones occur behind abrupt discontinuities in the terrain and at the entries into gullies and bowls, where small slab releases cannot be ruled out.

Beneath the few cm of fresh snow gthe snowpack has bonded and consolidated amid shifting mild and cold temperatures, and is relatively stable. Inside the snowpack there are hardly any weak layers.

On Monday morning, still sunshine. As of midday, cloud cover will move in from the northwest. During the afternoon in the northern barrier cloud regions, snowfall will set in. In the Northern Alps, gale-strength NW winds will rage, visibility will deteriorate. South of the Niedere Tauern, weather conditions will be more pleasant, only a small amount of fresh snow is anticipated. At 2000 m: about -7 degrees. On Tuesday, snowfall in the northern barrier cloud regions, stormy NW winds. The south will be more pleasant.

Fresh snowfall and stormy NW winds: increasing avalanche danger levels.
