There is a small avalanche danger in the Fatras.

There is a small avalanche danger in the Fatras.

During the day, the zero isotherm will rise above 1500 m a.s.l. The inflow of warm air will cause soaking and a decrease in snow stability, especially in the middle altitudes (up to 1700 m a.s.l.). Snow will be wetted throughout the profile due to warming. The avalanche danger is concentrated in the highest altitudes of the Fatra Mountains, where there is still enough snow for the formation of wet avalanches. Smaller spontaneous avalanches and avalanches from wet snow are expected, as well as medium-sized wet avalanches. Spontaneous foundation avalanches are possible on grassy slopes.

Rain up to 1600 m above sea level will reduce the stability of the snow cover. Snow will soften, mush and lose its cohesion at lower and middle elevations. In the afternoon the snow will be soaked throughout the profile.

Slightly rising during the day.
