Cloudbanks and fogbanks this morning, accompanied by lengthy sunny intervals particularly on the southern flank of the Alps. This afternoon, visibility will deteriorate from the west, rain and snowfall will set in and spread. The snowfall level will be at 900-1400m in northern regions; at 500-1000 in southern regions. Temperature at 2000m: -2 degrees; at 3000m: -8 degrees. In the latter part of the night tonight, winds at high altitudes will intensify, reaching strong to storm strength. Snow Layering Backcountry touring possibilities and freeriding descents are still severely limited due to lack of snow. An old-snow problem also prevails due to a weak layer near the ground which formed on shady slopes during the long phase of dry weather at the end of the old year. This layer is a threat wherever the old snowpack surface was loosely packed before the latest round of snowfall began (or else had only a thin crust) since beneath it lurked loose and faceted snow crystals. The snowdrifts deposited atop this layer have high proneness to triggering and manifest shooting cracks and settling noices ("whumpf") to prove it, confirmed by snow profiles testing snowpack stability and avalanches triggered by persons. The likelihood of triggering is expected to increase somewhat over the course of the day. Avalanche Danger Avalanche danger continues to be higher in western than in eastern regions. In the Arlberg region above approximately 2000m, considerable danger prevails; below that altitude, low. In other regions the danger level above about 2200m is moderate; below that altitude, low. Danger levels in the East Tirolean Tauern above about 2400m are expected to rise to moderate today due to snowfall and wind impact. The major peril threatens from recently formed snowdrift accumulations, mostly found on steep, shady slopes between about 2200 and 2800m, as well as on sunny slopes above about 3300m. These drifts were deposited on top of a loosely-packed old snow cover. In many places, even minimum additional loading, i.e. the weight of one single person, can trigger a slab avalanche. Danger zones occur primarily in gullies, bowls and areas adjacent to ridgelines.
