Feedback for the correct answer(s): Have you observed the satellite images? Maybe you have noticed that the low pressure system moves eastwards north of the Alps during the morning hours. At the same time msl pressure decreases south of the Alps. This combination causes a distinct pressure gradient between N and S and might lead to a sudden and very local increase in gusts in the city of Salzburg between 6 and 8 o'clock.
Also you can observe the surface pressure development quite nicely by looking at the AROME forecast charts.
The spread between temperature and dew point temperature is a good indicator for the foehn development (stations).
