Heed the daytime warming cycle! Generally unfavourable conditions except in high alpine regions, high danger in some places! 2011-04-05+02:00 2 2011-04-06+02:00 3 2011-04-07+02:00 3 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 2800 steep slopes 3 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 1600 steep slopes 3 2011-04-09+02:00 3 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 1600 3 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 1600 1 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 1600 3 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 1600 1 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 1600 3 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 1600 1 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 1600 3 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 1600 1 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 1600 3 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 1600 1 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 1600 3 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 1600 1 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 2800 3 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 2800 3 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 2800 3 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 2800 4 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 1600 3 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 1600 1 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 1600 3 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 1600 1 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 1600 3 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 1600 1 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 1600 3 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 1600 1 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 2800 3 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 2800 1 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 2800 3 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 2800 1 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 2800 3 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 2800 3 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 2800 3 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 2800 4 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 2800 3 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 2800 3 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 2800 3 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 2800 4 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 2800 3 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 2800 3 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 2800 3 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 2800 4 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 2800 3 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 2800 3 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 2800 3 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 2800 4 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 1600 3 2011-04-08T00:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T11:59:59+02:00 1600 1 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 1600 3 2011-04-08T12:00:00+02:00 2011-04-08T23:59:59+02:00 1600 1 Weather in general: a high pressure system prevails above western Europe, Tyrol lies at its rim in a powerful northwesterly air current. On the weekend, the high will become stronger. Next week, a variable westerly air current will gradually take hold. Mountain weather today: somewhat limited visibility this morning, particularly in the Northern Alps, and around the Wilder Kaiser, where short showers are possible. Over the Zillertal Alps and East Tyrolean peaks are extensive cloudbanks on the lee side. This afternoon, widespread sunny, only a bit of convective cloud. Temperature at 2000 m: plus 3 to 7 degrees; at 3000 m: minus 3 to plus 1 degree. Brisk northwesterly winds, at higher altitudes the winds will be stormy. The snowpack is disappearing apace, the amounts of snow are far below average for this juncture in the season. The snowpack becomes wetter and wetter, even on north facing slopes up to about 2300 m it is wet down to the ground. In high alpine regions, the snowpack can consolidate somewhat overnight, particularly in windy areas, but generally loses much of its firmness during the day. A potential bed surface for slab avalanches is a moist layer of old depth hoar, especially on west to north to east facing slopes between 2800 and 2200 m. The avalanche danger level is contingent on altitude and will significantly rise during the day. Even during the morning below 2800 m, considerable danger prevails. From the early afternoon, the peril, at very least in the regions along the Main Alpine Ridge below 2800 m, will increase to "high". Similar to what happened yesterday in late afternoon there will be increased naturally triggered avalanches, mainly wet snow avalanches from very steep, west to north to east facing slopes, but also some large sized slab avalanches. In wind-influenced areas, the situation is more favourable, with naturally triggered avalanches unlikely. Except for high alpine regions, generally unfavourable for backcountry tours, not only with regard to the danger, but also the snow quality. Below 1600 m, the danger is low, due to much reduced snow levels.
