Low Italy brings deep winter conditions
A low in Italy brings the humid and temperate air of the Mediterranean to the southern slopes of the Alps, “here it snows and rains from Friday to Monday without major breaks,” reported the ZAMG meteorologists. The highest amounts of precipitation would fall in Upper Carinthia and East Tyrol, as well as the Main Alpine Range area of Tyrol, with around 100 to 200 liters per square meter, occasionally even more. Depending on the region and intensity of precipitation, the snowfall line varies greatly between valley locations and more than 1,500 meters above sea level.
According to the forecast, one to two meters of fresh snow will fall on the mountains on Wednesday in the area from Upper Carinthia through East Tyrol to the Tyrolean Alpine range from Friday to Monday. “Occasionally it can snow more than two meters here, and the foehn storm also causes large accumulations of snow and increases the danger of avalanches,” he said. ÖBB also anticipates the risk of landslides, avalanches and windbreaks.
Rain and snow
The exact forecast of the amount of snow in the lowlands is difficult due to the fluctuation of the snow line, since in many regions there is an alternation of snow and rain from Friday to Monday. “It snows more in the valleys of East Tyrol and Upper Carinthia (especially in the Lesach Valley and the Upper Möll Valley). Here it is possible that 70 to 130 centimeters of fresh snow from Friday to Monday. But also in Vorarlberg and North Tyrol, as well as in Pinzgau, Pongau and Sometimes Lungau can snow a lot on Friday and the weekend, with fresh snow amounts of between 20 and 60 centimeters, ”reported ZAMG.
Large amounts of snow and rain can cause problems on Fridays and weekends due to falling trees and small-scale flooding, especially in Upper Carinthia and East Tyrol and in North Tyrol in the area of the main Alpine range (Ötztal , Stubaital, Brenner, Wipptal, Zillertal rear). The foehn storm can also cause problems during the weekend. According to calculations, it reaches more than 100 km / h in the mountains and can also go through the valleys on the north side of the Alps, at around 70 to 100 km / h.
