Nock Mountains

Locally, attention should be paid to mostly easily recognisable snow packs.

The night will be largely starry. High pressure with lots of sunshine again on Monday. Lively to strong winds from the west to north-west with gusts of up to 50 km/h during the day at high altitudes in the Northern Alps and Niedere Tauern. Temperatures at 2000 metres will be between +2 and +6 degrees, at 3000 metres around -1 degree.

The avalanche danger is rising slightly with the gradual increase in fresh snow and wind on Tuesday, the uncertainty is still high.

The snow cover, snowpack is highly variable. The surface is crusted can form, on sunny slopes it softens during daytime changes. In shady slopes, weak layers of faceted crystals are occasionally preserved in the snow cover, mostly in the vicinity of crusts. Due to the overall heavily built-up transformed snow cover, the fracture propagation potential is generally low. The snow depth is well below average for the time of year.

Locally, attention should be paid to mostly easily recognisable snow packs.

The avalanche risk is low, but injury from stones and falling remain the main dangers. In gullies and bowls adjacent to the ridgeline, crests or summits on the shady slopes, there are isolated trigger points in persistent weak layers that are difficult to disturb. In rare cases, drift snow packs can also be triggered there by individuals. Avalanches usually remain small.
