Keypoints

Snow is generally hard and uniform following mild spring weather and subsequent frost. Snowfall is forecast in the coming days, and small avalanches are expected to be possible on steep slopes afterward.

Snow layers and snow cover

There is still a considerable amount of snow in the mountains, generally in spring conditions. It has settled and strengthened due to mild weather and sunshine, with daily temperature fluctuations. Snowfall is forecast over the coming days in relatively light northeasterly to easterly winds. Accumulated precipitation in the mountains could reach around or over 100 mm, equivalent to about 1 m of snow. Small avalanches may occur on steep slopes afterward while the snow is stabilizing and strengthening.

Recent avalanches

No reports of recent avalanches.

Weather and weather forecast

Winds will turn northeasterly at 5–10 m/s on Thursday, with snowfall in the mountains continuing through Saturday. Somewhat stronger winds are expected near the coast. Rain is likely in lowland areas. Total accumulated precipitation in the mountains could reach over 100 mm in the areas receiving the most. Cooler weather is expected
