Mürzsteg Alps

Low avalanche danger, occasional small wet snow slides possible

Low avalanche danger, occasional small wet snow slides possible

The avalanche risk is low. Small wet snow slides can occur occasionally in all aspects, especially from multiple starting zones that have not yet been fully discharged. The risk of entrainment in the fall terrain outweighs the risk of burial.

The thin, mostly isothermal snow cover cannot consolidate sufficiently overnight and is soaked further during the day. There is only a little snow left and the sunny slopes are usually already snowed out.

During the night, the sky over the Styrian mountains will gradually clear, but in the second half of the night the next dense band of cloud will arrive from the north-west. It will bring a few showers in the early hours of the morning and in the morning along the northern side of the Alps. During the day, the clouds will become softer again, but this will lead to more cumulus clouds and rain showers will be possible at any time. In the morning more in Upper Styria, in the afternoon more in the peripheral mountains. The temperature at 2000 metres will be between +2 and +6 degrees. The mostly moderate wind will shift from southerly to north-westerly directions during the night.

On Friday, the weather will gradually calm down with slightly fewer cumulus clouds and a decrease in the risk of showers. There will be little change in the avalanche situation.
