Later in the day, clouds will move in from the south in high-altitude layers. It will remain dry. In exposed terrain, often strong S/SW winds, reaching 45 km/hr. Mild. At 2000m: +1 degree; at 3000m: -5 degrees. Source: GeoSphere Austria Be careful of fresh snowdrifts. Freshly generated snowdrift accumulations are small-sized yet still often prone to triggering, particularly along the Salzburg border, such danger zones are easy to recognize. Avalanches can in isolated cases fracture down to more deeply embedded layers in the old snopwack and then grow to medium size. On shady slopes and in high alpine zones the likelihood of triggering is higher. Caution urged especially in seldom-skied terrain. Freshly generated snowdrift accumulations lie deposited particularly above 2400m were depositedon W/N/E facing slopes. More deeply embedded inside the old snowpack are faceted, expansively metamorphosed weak layers, esp. on shady wind-protected slopes. Clear skies are forecast, with low temperatures and low air moisture. Thus, the snowpack will expansively metamorphose during the nocturnal hours. The snowpack is highly diverse even over small areas.

Source: GeoSphere Austria Caution: weak layers in the old snowpack Weak layers in the old snowpack can in isolated cases on shady slopes be triggered even by one sole skier. Caution urged esp. in transitions into gullies and bowls above 1800m and at the foot of rocky cliffs and behind protruberances in the landscape. Avalanches are mostly small-sized. Apart from the risks of being buried in snow masses, the dangers of being swept along and forced to take a fall need to be taken into condideration. Freshly generated snowdrift accumulations blanket a weak old snowpack, esp. on wind-protected shady sloppes. Clear skies are forecast, with low temperatures and low air moisture. Thus, the snowpack will expansively metamorphose during the nocturnal hours. The snowpack is highly diverse even over small areas. Below 1600m very little snow on the ground.

Avalanche releases are mostly small-sized, mostly above 1800m and at the foot of rocky cliffs. Apart from the risks of being buried in snow masses, the danger of being swept along and forced to take a fall require consideration. The older snowdrifts blanket a weak old snowpack.
