Watch out for wet snow!
In the Fatras and in the Low and Western Tatras a low avalanche danger (1st degree) is declared above the forest zone. Snow has become wet due to warming and gradually froze with cooling. In several places the new snow has already melted completely. Avalanche release is only possible at the highest altitudes on very steep slopes with high additional loads. Occasionally, only small spontaneous wet avalanches are possible.
Continuous snow cover is found only on the northern slopes of the mountains or in the high Tatra Mountains. The warm weather has caused the new snow to melt almost completely and then to freeze as it cooled. During the day it softens on sunlit slopes. Overall, the snow cover is below average.
Rising during the day on sunlit slopes.
