Heavy rain and warm weather will drench the snowpack.

During Friday, the weather in the mountains of Slovakia will be influenced by an undulating cold front, which will bring rain in many places. The snow limit will be up to 1600 m above sea level. For the Fatra Mountains and the eastern part of the Low Tatras there is a moderate avalanche danger - the second level of the 5-part international scale. The main avalanche problem will be wet snow. The snow will be intensively soaked and heavy due to rain. Slopes with visible glide craks will be the most dangerous. In these places, spontaneous foundation avalanches from wet snow may also occur during the day.

At the lowest altitudes, the snow cover is no longer continuous. It will be wet in the mid-altitudes and later in the day it will become soaked.
