New snow forecast for the next 4 days
The question is, however, whether and where there is still a base at low altitudes and in the east of the Alps. Things continue to be exciting and the coming weekend doesn't look too bad at the moment, but more on that below.
The alert runs from Sunday to Tuesday. In the west until the early morning, in the east until the afternoon.
It applies to the entire northern Alpine arc from northern France to the Dachstein.
That's what we want!
That's what we want!
Will only be stormy briefly on Sunday, but the main precipitation on Monday should be quite usable at altitude. So theoretically it won't go that far into the Valais or even behind the main ridge. Full amounts in the northern congestion.
On Sunday at 1300-1700m with the higher values in France. Just in time for the onset of the real traffic jam, however, it goes down almost completely, so that from 1000m there should also be a lot of snow. Full amounts, however, only from 1500-1800m. As it ends with the coldest phase, the powder should be tempting on Tuesday morning!
From France to the Dachstein there will be 40-60cm of snow, in accumulation areas (Central Switzerland, Arlberg, Nordkette, Dachstein etc.) it will be 60-80cm and I can also imagine 1m somewhere, as it will be a real accumulation.

Ha. That's very difficult on Sunday because not much happens there during the day. On Monday, I'd rather head west to a high-altitude area with trees that still had a base, but that won't be easy even in France and Valais. In any case, not too deep within the Alps, but in a traffic jam. Everyone else should take alpine meadows and tracks, because it won't open up. Tuesday will be sunny and it will be dangerous at the top, but probably also pretty good.
Wednesday to Friday it will be warm and from Thursday probably also wet, which should not allow any nice tours due to the ungrateful combo. According to the oracle's crystal ball, it should stay wet from Friday onwards, but possibly get cooler again, so that this year the weekend warriors won't have that many fewer powder days than the students and trustafarians, but only because there are simply not that many overall.
Powder to the people!
Your oracle, who is looking forward to his second Powder Tuesday this year.
