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
Wind slab
The main hazard is wind slab. Snowpack stability is lower especially in concave terrain and gullies, where fresh snow thickness is greater due to snow drifts.
Locally, weak layers deeper in the snowpack can pose problems. Such weak layers are more frequent on sun-exposed slopes above the forest. With significant loading exceeding their carrying capacity, a medium-sized avalanche can be triggered.
Snowpack
Danger patterns
dp.4: cooling after warmth / warming after cold
With colder air mass, the snowpack will refreeze overnight. During the day, snow on sun-exposed slopes will melt, but less than in previous days. Wind slab from the last snowfall remains unstable in places. During the day, south snow avalanches are possible.
In the old snowpack, snow layers are mostly well bonded. Deep below the surface, weak layers of facets and rounded grains occur, more frequent on sun-exposed slopes.
Weather
Wednesday will be mostly clear. In the mid-mountains, mostly light east and south winds, in high mountains light to moderate northwest wind. Temperature at 1500 m midday from 4 to 9, at 2500 m from -3 to 0 °C. Colder in eastern ranges.
Outlook
Risk of south snow avalanches will decrease due to colder weather. Thursday sunny, but windy especially in high mountains. Friday temporarily more cloud, possible snow showers.
