In North Tirol skies are mostly cloudless. In southern East Tirol and in South Tirol and directly on the Main Alpine Ridge, a bit of residual cloud will take longer to disperse. Mild temperatures. Tonight, skies will be crystal-clear. Temperatures 9-14 degrees, in Bolzano 16 degrees. Snow Layering The snowpack is well structured for the most part. A bed surface for potential avalanches is the weakened deeply embedded layers from early winter (depth hoar, faceted crystals). Stability tests show that it is stabilising increasingly but could still release a slab avalanche. This is particularly the case in the above-cited regions on shady shopes. Above 3000m this is possible also in other aspects, although the snowpack covering is currently too widespread to be easily triggered. On shady slopes, surface hoar has formed, which could serve as a bed surface for the recently formed snowdrifts. On shady slopes there is often still powder snow; on sunny slopes, usually melt-freeze crusts; below about 2000m, sometimes capable of bearing loads, which then turn to corn snow as the day warms up. Avalanche Danger Predominantly favourable conditions prevail. Avalanche danger above 2200m is moderate in some places, otherwise mostly low. Caution is urged primarily in inneralpine regions (Tux, Stubai, Ötztal, Zillertal Alps) and in southern East Tirol above 2400m in very steep, shady terrain, where slab avalanches can trigger in little-trafficked areas, particularly by large additional loading. Due to weakened layers near ground level, avalanches could fracture more deeply and thereby grow to larger size. Elsewhere, isolated avalanche prone locations are found whereever small snowdrifts have recently accumulated, i.e. near ridgelines, in shady steep terrain; or else gliding avalanches on steep, grass-covered slopes. Gliding avalanches are often "announced" by glide cracks in the snowpack surface, making it easy to avoid the threatened zones. In the course of the day, intense solar radiation could lead to small moist sluffs and loose-snow avalnaches on extremely steep, sunny slopes.
