Hardly any danger zones
Avalanche danger is LOW. Only in very few places can large addtional loading trigger a slab avalanche, most likely in transitions where snow is shallow, into deeper snow, in shady and extremely steep terrain. Then, avalanches can grow to medium size. Most avalanche prone locations occur in NW/N/E aspects distant from ridgelines and in steep gullies.
On shady slopes there is old powder atop a compact old snowpack. On sunny slopes the snow is turning slightly to firn, the uppermost centimetres are getting sticky. Hidden inside the old snow are soft layers of expansively metamorphosed (faceted) crystals, but are unlikely to trigger except in isolated cases.
On Thursday sunny, outstanding visibility, little wind. At 2000 m: -2 degrees. On Friday, brisk SE winds in some places, more clouds in Pongau and Lungau, elsewhere still very sunny. At 2000 m: 0 degrees.
No significant change is expected.
