Mürzsteg Alps

Only isolated danger spots due to fresh snowdrift deposits.

The avalanche danger is low. Danger spots are fresh snowdrift deposits in some places. These are located in high entrances to gullies and bowls and behind terrain edges, especially in the extended eastern exposures. Small slab avalanches can be triggered here by even a low additional loads. In case of triggered avalanches risk of injuries is more likely than risk of being buried.

Loose snow which is able to being drifted on the surface accumulates due to vivid northwesterly winds as fresh snowdrift especially in the extended eastern sectors and is only poorly bonded with the hard old snow. In medium and low altitudes especially on sunny slopes a complete snow base is missing.

In then northern Alps and in the northern Niedere Tauern it will snow on Wednesday. The visibility is bad. Vivid cold northwesterly winds. South of the Alpenhauptkamm, in the Mur-Mürz-Furche due to northern foehn winds, it will get sunny and eventually little snowfall. Alongside the Randgebirge more clouds and foggy weather. Vivid northern winds. Temperatures at 2000 m will be around -7 degrees.

Wednesday will be predominantly cloudy in the mountains. Some new snow is to expect in the north. It will clear up in some places in the south. Strong northern winds and significantly cooler temperatures. Fresh snowdrift on surface hoar. Slightly short-Tim increasing avalanche danger.
