Nock Mountains

Small, spontaneous wet snow avalanches during the daytime changes

Small, spontaneous wet snow avalanches during the daytime changes

The avalanche risk is low. In very few places in the terrain, small wet slab avalanches or loose snow avalanches are possible due to additional load or spontaneously. This increases the risk of avalanches in the fall terrain.

There is still snow in shady locations or at high altitudes, but sunny steep terrain often no longer has a large area of continuous snowpack up to at least medium altitudes or has already tapped out. The snow surface is usually crusted in the morning and softens in the morning depending on the exposure. In the Nockberge mountains, however, the strong wind slows down the snowmaking process.

After a clear night, it will be very sunny on Thursday, although thin clouds will pass through at times and cumulus clouds will develop during the day. Visibility will mostly be very good. The wind from the west to north-west will increase during the daytime changes and blow moderately strong, in the Nockberge mountains partly stormy with peaks around 80 km/h. At 1500 m 0 to 8 degrees, at 2000 m -3 to +4 degrees.

No significant change on Friday. Note the daytime changes in avalanche danger.
