Fischbach Alps East, Wechsel

Low avalanche danger

Low avalanche danger

Avalanche danger is low. In regions where there is more snow on the ground, small wet-snow slides and loose-snow avalanches can release on very steep slopes. On steep grassy slopes or over leaf-covered ground, a sufficiently deep snowpack can glide downhill.

Due to strikingly higher temperatures the snowpack was able to settle up to high altitudes. During the night of clear skies the snowpack surface will consolidate. Solar radiation and extremely mild temperatures will make the snowpack forfeit its firmness on sunny slopes and destabilize it, generating more naturally triggered moist avalanches.

Following a night of largely clear skies, sunny and mild weather will reign further on Tuesday. Moderate westerly winds At 2000 m: +8 degrees, evan at 3000 m on the Dachstein temperatures will be above zero. Excellent visibility in the dry air.

On Tuesday night low-pressure effects will creep in from the northwest, bringing cold air masses. On Wednesday on the northern flank of the Alps, some precipitation amid intensifying NW winds. At 2000 m at midday: -5 degrees. The wet-snow problem will recede, the gliding snow problem will persist. Slightly rising snowdrift problem, depending on the amount of fresh snow.
