Low avalanche danger - isolated wet loose-snow avalanches

Low avalanche danger - isolated wet loose-snow avalanches

Avalanche danger on Sunday is low. In steep terrain, wet loose-snow avalanches (small-to-medium) can release; on very steep grass-covered slopes, some glide-snow slides are possible.

The fresh snow from this last week has settled well, the most recenet snow is sticky or wet above 1400 m. Due to springtime temperatures and the recent rain impact, the firmness of the snowpack continues to deteriorate. Only at high altitudes are there still trigger-sensitive drifts.

The brief spell of high-pressure front conditions will come to an end on Sunday. On Saturday night, instable air masses from the west will cause weather to deteriorate. On Sunday morning the cloud cover will initially be in Upper Styria, later on also on the southern flank of the Alps, while summits will be shrouded in convective cloud. In the afternoon at latest, showers and thunderstorms can be expected in all regions. The S/SE winds will be light to start with. Temperatures will rise: at 2000 m to +5 degrees; at 1500 m to +9 degrees. On Monday, highly instable weather with some snowfall down to 1700 m. The air current will shift to northwesterly, the peaks will be hidden in fog. Temperatures will drop. Winds can become stormy.

No significant change is expected.
