Avalanche prone locations are found on north and east-facing slopes. Older snowdrift accumulations can be triggered even by minimum additional loading on extremely steep slopes. At low and intermediate altitudes, naturally triggered slides and glide-snow avalanches are still possible. The snowpack was able to settle further. On east and north-facing slopes the older snowdrifts lie deposited atop a soft or else a very hard layer. and are still inadequately bonded with the old snowpack. The fresh snow and snowdrifts (5 cm) lie deposited atop an old snowpack and are not well bonded with the layers beneath them. Sunday will bring cool weather to the mountains. Nonetheless, sunny weather will dominate all day long in the northwestern regions. Winds will be blowing at moderate strength from the west. Temperature at 2000 m, -2 degrees. Monday will be sunny and milder. Daytime danger cycle needs to be given attention 2021-03-27T17:00:00+00:00 avalanche-warnings.eu 2021-03-27T23:00:00+00:00 2021-03-28T22:00:00+00:00 1 old snow Low avalanche danger. Isolated avalanche prone locations on north-facing slopes. Isolated danger zones are found on north-facing slopes near ridgelines. A slab avalanche triggeirng cannot be ruled out in extremely steep terrain there. At intermediate altitudes, naturally triggered slides over the ground are possible. The snowpack was able to settle. The fundament is largely stable, potential weak layers of faceted crystals or blanketed-over surface hoar on north-facing slopes, or transitions to the hard old snowpack, are still evident. The fresh snow is minor. The snowpack surface became moist up to high altitudes on Saturday. With the lower temperatures, a melt-freeze crust will form. Sunday will bring us cool weather in the mountains. The general weather character will be sunny. Especially towards the northwest and in the Styrian rimline ranges, skies will frequently be overcast in the morning. Snow or rain is not expected. Wind: mostly westerly at 20-40- km/hr. Temperature at 2000 m: -4 to 0 degrees. On Monday, the daytime danger cycle merits close attention.
