Favorable avalanche situation

Favorable avalanche situation

Quite favorable avalanche conditions prevail in general. Due to solar radiation, isolated moist avalanches can be expected during the course of the day, esp. on extremely steep sunny slopes. On hardened surfaces, acute danger of falls.

Snowpack will consolidate as temperatures drop, a surface crust will form. The old snowpack is moist, esp. on sunny slopes at all altitudes and on shady slopes below 2100m. Below 1600m there is hardly any snow on the ground.

On Sunday, residual clouds will rapidly disperse to make room for the sun. Less northerly wind but in exposed terrain blowing at storm strength. Plummeting temperatures. At 3000m: -13 degrees; 2000m: -7 degrees. Source: GeoSource Austria
