Patches of high fog near the valleys will change to clouds during the daytime changes, causing visibility to be restricted in places in the afternoon. Moderate to brisk winds from northeast to east, peaking at around 40 km/h. Temperatures at 1500 m around -1 degrees, at 2000 m around -4 degrees. Friday will be sunny and cloudy. At first there will be a few hours of sunshine again. But then some clouds will gradually gather from the north. The wind will be weak. Temperatures will be similar to the previous day. More new fallen snow than expected. Watch out for fresh wind slab in the higher elevations! The avalanche risk is moderate at higher altitudes, partly above the tree line. Adjacent to ridgelines, behind terrain edges and in steep bowls and gullies, snowdrift accumulations in steep terrain can still be triggered as small to rarely medium slab avalanches, in some cases due to low additional loads. In the steep terrain on shady slopes, slab avalanches could still be triggered locally due to the problem of old snow. Due to repeated snowfall in recent days and strong winds from different directions, there are prone to triggering snowdrift accumulations that do not bind sufficiently with the old snowpack. Settlement is progressing slowly. The old snowpack has settled, is moist up to high altitudes and is crusted can form on the surface and hard in places. The snow base, fundament is high and partly weakened on shady slopes. Low and widespread middle elevations are often bare or have very little snow. Despite some new fallen snow, the avalanche situation hardly changes. steady 2026-03-20T16:00:00Z 2026-03-21T16:00:00Z 2026-03-20 2026-03-19T16:00:00Z 2026-03-19T16:00:00Z 2026-03-20T16:00:00Z false Avalanche Service Upper Austria Kasbergblock Sengsengebirge Zimnitzmassiv, Höllengebirge Traunstein, Eibenberg Kalmberg, Katergebirge low all_day wind_slab treeline SE E S NE N all_day slab Sun and clouds. Initially, most of Upper Austria will enjoy a few hours of sunshine again, with individual patches of fog disappearing quickly. Then, however, some clouds will gradually gather from the north. The wind will be light and temperatures will change little, with highs of 8 to 13 degrees. At 1500 metres it will be around or slightly above 0 degrees. Pay attention to local avalanche prone locations in exposed terrain! The avalanche risk is predominantly low. Nevertheless, there are localised avalanche prone locations at higher altitudes in many aspects due to prone to triggering snowdrift accumulations. Slab avalanches can be triggered in places by even a small additional load. There are still localised avalanche prone locations on shady slopes at high altitudes due to the problem of old snow. Occasional slab avalanches can still be triggered, especially in transitions from more to less snow. Due to repeated snowfall in the last few days and strong winds from different directions, there are prone to triggering snowdrift accumulations locally, which do not bind sufficiently with the old snowpack.
