Avalanche Activity

Moderate avalanche danger (2nd degree) in the High, Western and Low Tatras above 1600 m asl

Due to the recent snowfall (10 to 20 cm), there is a possibility of avalanches on steep slopes. Both with greater additional loads and smaller spontaneous avalanches, especially with warming temperatures and sunshine in the midday.

Snowpack Structure

Between 5 and 20 cm of new snow should fall at altitudes above 1200 m above sea level during Tuesday and overnight. It will be evenly distributed, stronger winds are not expected. The air temperature at 1500 m above sea level will rise to 0°C. During the day, the snow will become wetter on sunlit slopes, reducing its stability on steep slopes. At altitudes above 1500 m, the old snow cover, consisting of firn snow, will be under the new snow.

Tendency

slightly rising during the day. FK
