In the southern mountain massifs there will be cloudless skies, in the north a few clouds. Light NW winds will be blowing, strong at high altitudes. Higher temperatures than in recent days. At 3000m: -6 degrees; at 2000m: rising from -1 degree in afternoon; at 1000m+8 degrees. Source: GeoSphere Austria Caution: weak layers prone to triggering in very isolated cases Weak layers in the old snow can be triggered in isolated cases by one sole skier on steep W/N/E facing slopes above 2300m. Caution in transitions from shallow to deeper snow, e.g. at entry points into gullies and bowls, releases can reach medium size. Due to northerly winds, trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations were generated in gullies, bowls and behind protruberances in the landscape. They can be triggered by one sole skier in the weak old snow, esp. on NW/N/E facing slopes above 2200m. Danger zones are generally small-sized. Apart from the danger of being buried in snow masses, the risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall require adequate consideration. On very steep sunny slopes, daytime warmth and solar radiation makes mostly small wet loose-snow avalanches possible in isolated cases. In the lowermost part of the snowpack there are faceted, expansively metamorphosed weak layers, esp. on W/N/E facing slopes. The fresh snowdrift accumulations lie deposited atop an unfavorable old snowpack surface in high-alpine zones. Sunshine and higher temperatures during the daytime moisten the snowpack. Highly varied snow depths, depending on wind impact. There is too little snow on the ground for this juncture of the season. decreasing 2025-02-20T16:00:00Z 2025-02-21T16:00:00Z 2025-02-20 DP1 2025-02-19T16:00:00Z 2025-02-19T16:00:00Z 2025-02-20T16:00:00Z false Koralpe Eastern Karawanken Packalpe Central Karawanken Goldeck Group Central Karnian Alps Central Gailtal Alps Saualpe Western Karawanken Eastern Karnian Alps Gailtal Alps West Lienzer Dolomites Villacher Alpe Gurktal Alps South Gurktal Alps Nockberge Southern Nockberge low all_day Thursday will bring sunny weather.

Source: GeoSphere Austria Isolated danger zones in gullies and bowls Weak layers inside the old snow can be triggered in isolated cases, esp. on shady wind-protected slopes at high-altitudes. Caution urged in transitions into gullies and bowls. Danger zones occur seldom. Apart from the danger of being buried in snow masses, the risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall require adequate consideration. On very steep sunny slopes, daytime warmth and solar radiation makes mostly small wet loose-snow avalanches possible in isolated cases. In the middle part of the snowpack there are faceted, expansively metamorphosed weak layers, esp. on NW/N/NE facing slopes. Very steep sunny slopes: upper part of the snowpack is well consolidated, a melt-freeze crust on the furface. Sunshine and higher temperatures during the daytime moisten the snowpack. Highly varied snow depths, depending on wind impact. There is too little snow on the ground for this juncture of the season. steady 2025-02-20T16:00:00Z 2025-02-21T16:00:00Z 2025-02-20 Caution: weak layers inside old snow
