Avalanche Activity

Watch out for wet snow on southern exposures.

In the Fatras and the eastern part of the Low Tatras there is a low avalanche danger (1st degree). The snow will harden at night and will melt during the day due to the influx of warm air and sunlight, especially in the middle altitudes on the southern exposures. Due to the partly cloudy weather, melting will not be as pronounced as on previous days. During the previous day (Thursday) we also recorded localised precipitation, but due to the high temperatures it was of a rainy nature in these mountains. The current situation is well discernible on the ground, watch out for a greater thickness of waterlogged snow.

Snowpack Structure

The weather during Friday will be influenced by the edge of a pressure high and a breaking cold front It will continue to be very warm, with temperatures reaching positive numbers at the highest elevations. Snow will harden overnight and then soften again during the day, especially in the mid-latitudes. Isolated light precipitation may occur during the day. snow cover is fine over most of the area and hardening in the morning. Snow cover is well below average, especially at altitudes up to 1500 m above sea level.
