Current situation and outlook

There is not much to add to the above: High pressure from Spain to Scandinavia. Today, there are still remnants of the high-altitude cold air in the eastern Alps, but this will also be pushed away tomorrow and it will become increasingly milder and less windy from west to east by Friday. Sunny, mild and windless weather can also be expected for the weekend. Regions prone to fog are, well, prone to fog. At the beginning of next week, the crystal ball may see a few clouds produced by a low pressure system moving northwards, but no fundamental changes are currently foreseeable.

The Eastern Alaska Range Avalanche Center, a loose community of half a dozen reasonably hard-working people, theoretically responsible for the Delta Range, has been trying for several years to set up a single weather station. They now have the measuring instruments together: donated remnants of a university project that nobody else needs. There is currently a problem because it is unclear who owns the piece of land and where the station should be located, so they don't know exactly whether and where they should ask for permission. In addition, you first have to find the time and nerves for such a project if you don't earn your money with it, but with an office job far away from the mountains. Nobody is paid at EARAC. There's not even the slightest chance of a regular situation report.

So the WeatherBlog will be going somewhere at the weekend on the off chance that it doesn't snow for a while, but at least you over there know where there's already snow and what the weather has been like in the last few days. Take advantage of the dense measuring network in the Alps and the many different sources of information for tour planning and enjoy the sun!
