Beware wet snow. Isolated danger zones.

Beware wet snow. Isolated danger zones.

Naturally triggered wet-snow avalanches will increase with the daytime danger cycle. Wet-snow avalanches can be triggered by winter sports enthusiasts, mostly small releases.

Weather conditions are leading to the snowpack becoming thoroughly wet. Many wet-snow avalanches have already released, many starting zones have completely discharged, the snowpack is thoroughly wet, very little snow in some regions. Nocturnal outgoing longwave radiation hardly exists. The snowpack surface can barely freeze and softens rapidly. On steep sunny slopes and below 1800m there is hardly any snow on the ground.

Morning hours will be stable, with sunshine. As of midday, increasing convective cloud build-up, rain showers are likely as a consequence, also isolated thunderstorms. Moderate to strong-velocity southerly winds, in showers they can reach storm-strength. At 2000m: +5 degrees. Source: GeoSource Austria
