Low avalanche danger - naturally triggered wet-snow avalanches possible

Avalanche danger is low, but the wet-snow problem requires attentiveness right from early morning. In steep terrain is all aspects wet-snow avalanches can trigger at any time of day or night, naturally or triggered by winter sports enthusiasts.

As a result of the rain impact up to summit levels the snowdrift accumulations from the beginning of the week are instable, the snowpack has weakened further through moistness. At lower altitudes there is little snow on the ground.

On Friday, dense clouds, poor visibility. Dry in the morning, clouds moving in later from the west bringing showers which will then intensify. Most precipitation is expected in the Niedere Tauern. Snowfall level at 1700m. Brisk to strong westerly winds. Temperatures at 2000 m: 0 degrees. Saturday will be cool and variable, with intermittent snow showers. Below 1500m, rainfall. Winds will be NW, gradually slackening off by evening.

No significant change in avalanche danger levels is expected.
