The Salzkammergut and the Pyhrn area are affected by the storm warning, says Bernhard Niedermoser, meteorologist at ZAMG. From 9pm to midnight, the gusts have the most power at a speed of up to 110km / h.

The damage is to be feared: with the expected strength of the wind, it is necessary to count with uprooted trees and power cuts, even one or the other of the roofs could not resist, said Niedermoser. "At that moment, you should absolutely stay inside, rather leave the car," he continues.

If the storm turns off around midnight, you should not be premature with cleaning. Already Tuesday morning, the meteorologist again forecast winds ranging from 80 to 90 km / h in the mountains of the south. In the second half of the day, the situation slowly relaxes. The hissing will be tomorrow but also in the afternoon. A detailed overview of weather warnings can be found here.

Niedermoser finds calming words for the coming days: "It's only stormy Tuesday night, so we can expect a good fall weather." He announces "dry weather with sun and occasional fog". In Allerheiligen, pleasant temperatures are expected in the country at around 15 degrees.

Here's how the weather changes over time:

Although the rains of recent days are not a major problem in the Federal State, heavy rainfall and therefore water levels above the warning threshold were expected in the evening, especially in Lungau and Oberpinzgau.

In pieces Tyrol and South Tyrol, the situation also remains tense. Eastern Tyrol and Hintere Zillertal are particularly affected. The South Tyrolean Brenner motorway was blocked because of a Murenabgang Sunday night.
