Today a foehn-wind scenario will reach storm strength on the northern flank of the Alps. Mountain weather today: Despite high altitude cloud, visibility in the northern sector of the Limestone Alps and northern sector of the Central Alps is adequate, but a foehn storm will have arisen by this afternoon, visibility on the Main Alpine Ridge and in the Southern Alps will be limited, most of the summits shrouded in cloud. Light snowfall this morning, moderate this afternoon, intensifying to heavy snowfall this evening. Temperature at 2000m, 0 degrees; at 3000m, -4 degrees. Storm winds from SW. Snow Layering Storm SW winds, unfavourable touring conditions, considerable The strong SW winds yesterday transported the snow massively, creating new, trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations. The snowpack surface above 2000m bears the marks of heavy wind impact: windblown or hardened surfaces are frequently immediately adjacent to deeply drifted zones. Fresh and old drifts above 2200m blanket a poorly-layered snowpack fundament, often containing hardened or faceted layers. Caution: the persistent storm winds from the southwest have filled the already fractured avalanche paths with new drifts. Avalanche Danger The backcountry touring conditions in Tirol remain unfavourable. The avalanche scenario is treacherous, the danger considerable widespread (namely, in the upper reaches of Level 3). Fresh snowdrift accumulations are prone to triggering, can release even by minimum additional loading. Particularly in inneralpine touring regions, the likelihood of triggering corresponds to Level 4. The problem is the poor layering of the fundament, extremely difficult to recognize without extensive experience. Danger zones are found on steep slopes in all aspects above about 2000m. Beware transitions from deep to shallow snow. Plus: the intensifying SW winds will raise danger further over the course of the day. Touring possibilities are severely limited, experience in assessing danger on-site is essential.
