Avoid zones below glide cracks

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.

Avoid zones below glide cracks

Avalanche danger is low. There is latent danger of glide-snow avalanches. In steep grass-covered terrain, naturally triggered wet-snow avalanches are possible at any time, esp. below 2400 m. Glide-snow avalanches are sometimes medium-sized. Above 2400 m the freshly generated snowdrift accumulations are sometimes prone to triggering, esp. on very steep shady slopes, triggerable by 1 person, releases mostly small. On very steep sunny slopes small wet-snow avalanches are possible during the course of the day.

The snowpack is quite stable and compact. Up to 2400 m, very few reserves of cold in the snowpack. On sunny slopes there is a melt-freeze crust on the susrface, rapidly softening during the daytime. On north-facing slopes, often hardened snowdrift accumulations lie atop a crust, above 2400 m atop soft snowpack surfaces.

During the night, heavy clouds will pass through but it will remain dry. Southerly foehn winds will be quite stormy in the early part of the night, later on will collapse. On Monday, heavy clouds will again pass through, higher peaks will be shrouded in fog, windows of sunshine most likely in the Northern Alps. Later in the afternoon, esp. in Pinzgau, isolated light showers, snowfall level at 1500 m. Winds will be light from N/NW. At 2000 m: 0 to +3 degrees; at 3000 m: -6 degrees.
