The avalanche danger is low (level 1). Due to the moistening of the snow cover, caused by rain and mild temperatures, small, spontaneous loose snow slides are possible.

Due to the rain up to the summit area on Tuesday and the rising temperatures, the snow cover, snowpack has lost firmness. Due to the continuing mild temperatures and the sunshine, the snow cover, snowpack remains moist and wet. A melt-freeze crust may form in the morning, which will thaw during the day. The amount of snow is still well below average.

It will be cloudy through the night on Wednesday. High fog or mist will only gradually form over the lowlands. However, with an upper limit at around 600 metres, this will be quite irrelevant for the mountains. On Wednesday morning, sunshine will predominate in the Lower Austrian mountains, with thicker clouds only moving through in the afternoon. However, it will remain dry. The temperature at an altitude of 1500 metres will be between 3 and 6 degrees. Moderate to strong winds with gusts of around 60 km/h from the west. The snowfall level will be between 1700 and 2200 metres above sea level. No new fallen snow is expected.

The avalanche danger will remain the same on Thursday. The danger of wet loose snow avalanches is even decreasing. In the coming days, the weather will continue to be characterised by high pressure and mild temperatures. Although dense clouds will occasionally cover the sun, rain or snowfall is not expected for the time being. The high fog in the lowlands will become denser and gradually reach up to altitudes of around 1000 metres.
