Avalanche Activity

The sunny warm weather in the afternoon results in a risk of wet avalanches.

In the High, Low and Western Tatras there is a moderate avalanche danger (2nd degree). We expect light snowfall, mainly in the afternoon (up to 10 cm of new snow). Due to the small amount of new snow, the avalanche situation will not change significantly. Small spontaneous avalanches may occur.

Only isolated gliding avalanches are to be expected.

Snowpack Structure

The snow cover is very varied. The warm sunny weather yesterday caused the top layers of snow to become soaked. These are hardening as the weather cools. Up to 10 cm of new snow will be added. Continuous snow cover occurs from about 1200 m above sea level.

Tendency

no significant change
