Avalanche problems in the area

Problem

New snow

Height

Below 600 m

Aspect

E - W

Probability

Unlikely

Size

1

Keypoints

Tonight and overnight, a fair amount of snow will fall on bare ground at higher elevations in strong northeasternly winds. During the evening, the wind will turn northerly and later northwesterly, and it will get colder as the evening and night go on, so the snow line will drop. As tomorrow goes on, however, both wind and precipitation will ease, and temperatures will rise.

Snow layers and snow cover

Bare ground.

Recent avalanches

None recorded.

Weather and weather forecast

Strong northern winds this evening, becoming northwesterly overnight and into tomorrow morning. Temperatures will also drop to near freezing, so snow or sleet can be expected in the lowlands. Winds will steadily ease through the morning. Increasing southerly winds in the afternoon with clearing skies, 10–18 m/s tomorrow evening, with showers in the west and snow showers in the mountains.
