Continued warming and rain- watch for wet snow on steep slopes.

Moderate avalanche danger in the high Tatras and Low Tatras, 2nd degree. Due to rain and warming, the main avalanche problem is wet snow. Steep slopes, couloirs, and leeward places of the highest altitudes, where a larger amount of newer snow is concentrated, will be dangerous. Avalanches can be triggered here, especially with higher additional loads, but spontaneous avalanches and small avalanches from wet snow can also occur. Care should also be taken on the overpasses in the upper parts of the ridges.

The snow cover is mostly moist to wet due to warming and rain. Dry snow can be found only on the northern slopes at the highest altitudes of the Tatras. Snow from the last snowfall (Saturday) is on older hard snow, its height reaches 10 to 35 cm, mostly in the northern Tatras. There is a continuous snow cover from 1500-1700 m above sea level (depending on the orientation).

generally persistent, slightly rising during the day fk
