Danger level Tuesday, 14. 4. 2026 at
Danger level 2 – moderate
Southern Julian Alps, Central Julian Alps, Eastern Julian Alps, Western Julian Alps, Kamnik Alps, Savinja Alps and Carinthia, Western Karawanks, Central Karawanks
Rainy thaw below 2200 m, smaller unstable deposits of new wind-blown snow above 2200 m.
The old snowpack is mostly well bonded and generally stable.
Rainy precipitation below 2200 m will cause a decrease in stability of the upper layers of the snowpack. Where rainwater reaches faceted layers, natural avalanches of wet bonded snow can be triggered.
Above 2200 m it will be possible to trigger smaller avalanches of bonded snow in fresh snow deposits already with minor load.
Snowpack
Danger patterns
dp.10: spring conditions
In the old snowpack snow layers are mostly well connected to each other. More or less deep below the surface there are several weak layers of facets and faceted grains, more frequent on shady slopes.
In the cloudy night the snowpack surface will not refreeze.
On Tuesday below approx. 2200 m rain will soften the upper layers of the snowpack. Where rain reaches faceted layers, somewhat deeper and larger avalanches of wet bonded snow can be triggered. Above 2200 m snowfall with moderate W-SW wind, in leeward positions smaller snow deposits will form, which will connect only slowly with the old base.
Weather
On Tuesday cloudy with precipitation, somewhat more in the west. Snowfall above 2200 m, dry snow above approx. 2500 m. 10-20 cm of snow, locally in the west another 10 cm. Moderate W-SW wind blowing. Midday temperature at 1500 m around 5, at 2500 m around 0 °C.
Outlook
On Wednesday cloudy and dry. Windiness and air temperature similar to Tuesday. On Thursday possibly more sun. Snow avalanche release danger will decrease slightly on Wednesday.
