Danger of wet-snow avalanches will increase during the day. Danger levels occur esp. along the Salzburg border.

Due to daytime warming and solar radiation, likelihood of wet-snow avalanches triggering will increase. Below 2800m mostly small releases are possible, esp. along the Salzburg border. Caution urged esp. on very steep slopes and at the foot of rock walls. Snowdrift accumulations are no longer very trigger-sensitive. Isolated danger zones occur on shady slopes above 2800m.

Nocturnal outgoing longwave radiation is quite good, the snowpack surface freezes enough to be capable of bearing loads. Sunshine and higher daytime temperatures lead to significant softening of the snowpack during the morning hours. The lowermost part of the snowpack is wet on shady slopes below 2800m and on sunny slopes below 3200m. Weather conditions are stabilising the snowdrift accumulations. Below 2200m hardly any snow on the ground.

On Monday, mostly sunny weather, with intermittent limitations in visibility through fog/clouds, later on through convective cloud build-up. In the afternoon, some convective clouds shrouding the summits. It will remain mostly dry. Light to moderate SE winds. At 2000m: up to +8 degrees; at 3000m: -1 degree. Source: GeoSphere Austria
