Beware of wet and foundation avalanches.

For the High, Western and Low Tatras there is a low avalanche danger from 1500 m above sea level (1st degree). In the afternoon the avalanche danger in these mountains will increase to 2nd degree. The main avalanche problem is wet snow. Precipitation is expected in the afternoon, especially in the form of rain therefore all orientations will be dangerous. On such slopes there is a risk of small avalanches or avalanches being released with a large additional load ( e.g. movement on foot). There is a particular danger of falling into exposed terrain when they are released. During the day, small spontaneous avalanches and occasionally foundation avalanches may occur in steep couloirs at the highest altitudes.
