A moderate avalanche danger is declared in the High and Western Tatras (2nd degree ). Above 1500 m above sea level, up to 25 cm of new snow fell on Tuesday, but it is gradually melting. The new snow fell on top of old hard snow. These two layers have become well bonded over the last few days. However, warming will be a problem, which will bring the risk of wet avalanches, and rain showers will also slightly increase the risk. Spontaneous small avalanches or avalanches may also occur.
Snowpack
The snow cover is melting due to warming. The surface is wet. At altitudes below 1300 m above sea level, snow cover is only sporadic.

In Mala Fatra and the Low Tatras, a low avalanche danger (1st degree) is declared above the 1300 m above sea level.On Tuesday, up to 35 cm of new snow fell in places. However, it has almost completely melted. The new snow has fallen on grassy ground or on old hard snow. These two layers have become well bonded over the last few days. But the problem will be warming, which will bring the risk of wet avalanches. In the event of a release, these will be small avalanches or avalanches.
Snowpack
The snow from Tuesday is melting fast. Underneath, there are snow fields of old firn snow with a layer of Saharan dust on the surface. At altitudes below 1300 m, snow cover is only sporadic.
