Isolated glide-snow/wet-snow avalanches in steep terrain

Isolated glide-snow/wet-snow avalanches in steep terrain

Avalanche danger is generally low. On steep slopes in all aspects, naturally triggered glide-snow and wet-snow avalanches can be expected.

At high altitudes, older snowdrift accumulations have now bonded with the snowpack surface, tensions have decreased. At intermediate and lower altitudes the snowpack is very moist-to-wet due to rain impact, can glide over smooth ground. The slopes near Graz and Wechsel are mostly bare of snow.

A cold front from the northwest will traverse the Eastern Alps on Saturday, bringing variable conditions to Styria. Clouds will veil the peaks in fog, some precipitation is expected, snowfall level in the Northern Alps at 2000 m, on the southern flank of the Alps at 2200 m. Weather will improve in the afternoon. The NW winds along the Niedere Tauern to the eastern Northern Alps will be moderate. At 2000 m: +1 degree; at 1500 m: +4 degrees (in the south +3 and +7 degrees). On Sunday in the wake of the withdrawing cold front, dry air masses will move in. From the west, clouds will disperse, final showers are possible in NE Upper Styria. Winds will weaken. Temperatures will drop slightly.

Avalanche danger will remain low
