Lots of fresh snow and strong winds increase the risk of avalanches in Tyrol. The avalanche warning service announced the highest warning level 5 for East Tyrol.
The report said that spontaneous avalanches "occasionally also extremely large" are to be expected. Large and very large sliding snow avalanches are to be expected on steep slopes below around 2600 meters. During the day, up to 110 centimeters of fresh snow should fall.
In the north of Tyrol, the second highest warning level applies. Avalanches could reach the valley there and endanger traffic routes, it said. Because of the heavy snowfall, train connections on the Brenner are interrupted in South Tyrol.
The Brenner motorway on the important connection between Italy and Austria is also partially closed. The Italian railway company RFI announced that there were closures on the train route between Brenner and Bolzano.
There is a "patchwork quilt" of power outages throughout South Tyrol.

The railway companies in Switzerland and Italy are temporarily suspending cross-border traffic.
As of December 10, 2020, there will be no more trains of the Swiss Railways SBB and Trenitalia across the border for an indefinite period, the SBB announced on Tuesday. "The decision is based on a decree of the Italian government," it said.
Italy requires controls that Switzerland cannot guarantee, said a SBB spokeswoman on request, including temperature measurement and the submission of a negative corona test.
In the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, the health authorities are holding a new disease in suspense. Typical symptoms are nausea or exhaustion; one patient has died so far.
There is apparently no connection with the high corona numbers in the region.
Baden-Württemberg wants to force stubborn corona quarantine refusers. This was stated by the state social minister Manfred Lucha after a cabinet meeting.
According to this, people who do not go into quarantine despite corona infection and do not respond to other sanctions should in future be able to be forcibly committed to central hospitals by the police. The locations should be determined by the weekend.
The government is implementing a demand made by the Baden-Württemberg Interior Minister Thomas Strobl, who had already called for this at the beginning of November. He was happy that there was now consensus that "stubborn quarantine breakers should be separated,"
