Due to the night snowfall and strong winds, locally dangerous avalanche conditions were created on the leeward slopes. Avalanche release on such steep slopes is possible with high additional loads. Occasionally, smaller spontaneous avalanches may also occur.

During the evening and night, 10-20 cm of new snow should fall in the highest altitudes of the Fatra Mountains. Below 1400 m above sea level it will rain. The snowfall will be accompanied by very strong southerly winds of gale force. The wind will deposit the new snow on leeward places, in troughs of northern orientations. There is a crust of older snow under the new snow. The snow in the mid-elevations is wet and decreasing in height due to the rain. The overall height is already well below average.
