Watch out for wet avalanches when it warms up during the day!
Moderate avalanche danger persists at altitudes above 1800 m a.s.l., 2nd degree. Due to strong warming, wet snow is becoming the main problem in all orientations. Avalanche release is possible especially with high additional loads, but spontaneous avalanches from wet snow are also expected on steep slopes, even in the morning.
Snowpack
Due to the strong warming and south wind, the snow cover is already soaked in the morning hours in the entire profile. Snow stability will decrease as the day progresses and as air temperatures increase. The boundary of the continuous snow cover is rising day by day, it is currently about 1500 to 1600 m above sea level depending on the orientation.

Smaller avalanches from wet snow may occur locally.
In the highest altitudes of the eastern part of the Low Tatras (above 1700 m asl) there is a SMALL avalanche danger, 1st degree. Smaller avalanches can occur only on very steep slopes. Firstly, with greater additional loads, or smaller spontaneous avalanches and slides, especially with warming temperatures and sunshine in the midday hours.
