High altitude clouds will create diffuse light conditions, sometimes hiding the sun. On the northern flank of the Alps visibility will be better due to foehn wind. Zero-degrere level at 3300m today; at 2000m, 7 degrees; at 3000m, 2 degrees. Mostly moderate strength S/SW wind, strong in high alpine regions. Southerly foehn in the Tux Alps will reach hurricane strength, with strong gusts. Snow Layering Nocturnal outgoing radiation is the decisive factor these days for the quality of the snowpack in the morning. Last night was highly varied. In western regions the skies were cloudy; in eastern regions, clear. Thus, in eastern regions above 2300m there is usually a melt-freeze crust capable of bearing loads this morning. In the remaining regions of Tirol, the snowpack surface is usually moist at low and intermediate altitudes, above those levels with a thin melt-freeze crust. The snowpack will become thoroughly wet during the day, which weakens it down to the more deeply embedded layers which are risky. This applies particularly to shaday slopes below 2400m, to sunny slopes between 2300 and 2500m. Avalanche Danger Avalanche danger varies greatly today, it depends not only on the region, but on the altitude and on the time of day. In North Tirol below 2300m, considerable danger prevails already from the early morning hours; above that altitude, danger is moderate. In East Tirol, the danger during the morning is mostly moderate; in the furthermost south, low. Caution is urged, however; throughout Tirol, the very mild temperatures and diffuse solar radiation will raise avalanche danger to considerable above 2600m in the course of the day. The risk lies in the ever wetter snowpack which will make it utterly forfeit firmness. It currently appears that the high point of avalanche activity has passed, but we still expect spontaneous avalanches, most of them loose-snow avalanches in rocky terrain below 2600m and gliding avalanches on steep, grass-covered slopes. Slab avalanches are likely only by additional loading, mostly on shady slopes between 2200 and 2400m; on sunny slopes between 2300 and 2500m. The rule of thumb is: the most favourable conditions are found if tours begin (and end) early in the day.
