Austria says 11,000 migrants crossed into the country from Hungary in the 24-hour period that ended on midnight Saturday.
The country's interior ministry says that another 7,000 are expected Sunday at the main Nickelsdorf crossing, east of Vienna.
Ministry officials are meeting with charity organizations to try and find temporary shelter for the new arrivals, who are fleeing conflict and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
