Türnitzer Alpen

Increase in avalanche danger already in the morning!

The avalanche danger increases to moderate! Some spontaneous wet snow avalanches, occasional gliding sluffs!

The avalanche risk increases to moderate (level 2) during the daytime changes. Due to the very mild temperatures and the strong sunlight for the time of year, there will be an increase in wet loose snow and slab avalanches, especially on sunny slopes. Gliding avalanches are also possible. The avalanches usually occur spontaneously, but remain mostly small. Only occasionally can they reach medium size.

Due to the rain on Saturday, the clouds in the night to Sunday and the marked rise in temperature, the snowpack is already wet in the morning. On sunny slopes and at low altitudes, the snowpack will become wet during the day. There will be little snow below 1000 metres.

Sunday night will be mostly cloudy. The clouds will soften in the early hours of the morning. By sunrise, the clouds in the east will have dispersed and the remnants of clouds in the west will soften quickly. Afterwards, it will be very sunny with partly cloudless skies. There will be a marked rise in temperature. At 2000 metres, temperatures will rise from 0 to +8 degrees, at 1500 metres from 3 to 13 degrees. Moderate to strong winds from the west with gusts of between 40 and 60 km/h.

A weak cold front will pass through on Easter Monday. This will bring isolated rain showers. The slight drop in temperature will reduce the risk of avalanches somewhat.
