General danger level - Monday, 7. 5. 2018
Danger is level 2 on the European 5-level scale - MODERATE.
Main problem: wet snow
Danger pattern: Spring situation
Risk assessment
Avalanche danger is mostly LOW, level 1, from late morning to evening above about 2000 m a.s.l. the snowpack becomes somewhat unstable. The snowpack is mostly stable. In the morning, in high mountains or frost hollows after clear nights, it can be refrozen. During the day it softens somewhat and becomes slightly less stable around midday.
Snow conditions
The snowpack is melting, consolidated snowpack is mostly on plateaus and in shaded spots in the high mountains. Snow is refrozen in the morning after clear nights especially in high mountains and frost hollows, during the day it is somewhat softened.
Forecast weather development
Today partly clear, relatively weak wind from easterly directions. From tomorrow onwards mainly in the afternoon local showers and thunderstorms will form again, more frequent on some days, less on others.
Trend in snow conditions
The snowpack will melt and disappear. In the high mountains there is still a lot of snow in many places, which is mostly well transformed. Due to lack of data and because there is no longer proper consolidated snowpack in the mountains, we are ending the reporting on snowpack conditions in the mountains from today. We will presumably start issuing reports again after 15 November if there is enough snow, or earlier if necessary (in case of heavier snowfall and snowpack in the mountains).
