Watch out for waterlogged snow in major avalanche paths.
For the eastern part of the Low Tatras there is a moderate avalanche danger, i.e. the second degree of the five-part international scale. An influx of warm sea air during Monday, combined with rainfall, caused a gradual heaviness and wetting of the snow cover. The main avalanche problem is wet snow, which can release in the form of spontaneous avalanches. However, medium or larger avalanches are not expected due to this problem due to the lower snow depths in the region.
The old snow cover was gradually becoming soaked due to Monday's rainfall in the form of rain. Continued high temperatures during Tuesday and less cloud cover will cause further soaking of the snow cover, leading to instability.
The avalanche hazard trend is persistent. Compiled by : Martin Buliak
