Pongau Grass Mountains

Watch out locally for small snowdrift accumulations.

There is a succession of thin layers of drifting snow on the meadows. The snow cover is well below average and very variable.

During the night to Thursday, some snow will fall, especially east of the Salzach, with 5 to 10 cm possible. The wind will reach speeds of around 40 km/h on the mountains. On Thursday, residual clouds will soon clear and it will be mostly sunny. High cloud fields will cloud the sky at times. The westerly wind will be much weaker than the day before. Temperatures will continue to rise, from -8 to -4 degrees at 2000 metres.

The avalanche danger remains low on Friday.

Watch out locally for small snowdrift accumulations.

The avalanche danger is low. Up to 20 cm of new fallen snow has been brought down by north-westerly winds over the last few days on ground that was previously mostly bare. Snow relevant for a burial could only accumulate in snow traps that are blown in and easily recognisable. However, the risk of avalanches is outweighed by the risk of injury from stones underneath.
