In the High, Western and Low Tatras a moderate avalanche danger (2nd degree) has been declared. Above 1500 m above sea level up to 25 cm of new snow has fallen in the last few days. The interface between new and old snow is particularly dangerous. The danger is particularly high when there is a large additional load. It will gradually get warmer. Snow showers may also occur, above 1900 m. Wet avalanches from new snow threaten below 2000 m. Above 1900 m above sea level there are also wind-blown slabs and pillows. The new snow will become wet due to warming and will melt quickly. Underneath is old firn snow, with a layer of Saharan dust on the surface. At altitudes below 1 300 m above sea level, snow cover is only sporadic. No change.

In Mala and Veľká Fatra, a low avalanche danger (1st degree) is declared above the 1300 m above sea level, where up to 35 cm of new snow has been added in places in recent days. The new snow has fallen mostly on grassy ground, but in places also on old hard snow. The snowfall was associated with wind, so that snow slabs and pillows could form on the ground. As it gradually warms up, spontaneous drifts and small wet avalanches may occur. In the Fatras, up to 35 cm of new snow was added in places. It is getting wet due to warming and melting quickly. Underneath, there are snowfields of old firn snow with a layer of Saharan dust on the surface. At altitudes below 1 300 m above sea level, the snow cover is only sporadic. No change.
