Southern Julian Prealps

Even a small additional load can trigger a small avalanche, especially in typical leeward areas with freshly blown snow.

Up to 40 cm of new fallen snow has fallen on bare ground above 1300 m since Friday. Snowdrift accumulations have formed due to the strong SW wind. If the weather is sunny, the snowpack will clear.

It has cleared up quite a bit today, with some clouds remaining in the central mountains. Partly clear during the day, with occasional fog, especially in the central mountains. A light to moderate northerly breeze will blow in the afternoon. At 1500 m it will be around -1 °C, at 2000 m around -4 °C.

Tuesday morning will be sunny, but as the SW wind strengthens, it will first turn cloudy on the coastal side of the Julian Alps and the Dinaric Mountains. Elsewhere, it will become cloudy by the evening, with showers on Wednesday night. The avalanche danger will remain unchanged until Wednesday.
