Avalanche Problem
New snow

Watch for wet snow on S orientations, smaller snow pillows from new snow will be found locally in the S sector in the afternoon.

In all mountains of Slovakia there is a low avalanche danger (1st degree). The snow will harden at night and will melt during the day due to the influx of warm air and sunlight, especially in the middle altitudes on the southern exposures. Local snow showers are expected in the afternoon, southerly winds will carry them to the S side of the mountains, where new snow may be found in the highest places, deposited in smaller pillows and slabs. The current situation is well discernible on the ground, look out for greater thicknesses of waterlogged snow, on the other hand look out for isolated pillows of blown snow on the S exposures of the highest altitudes.

Snowpack

The weather during Monday will be influenced by an incoming wavy cold front. It will be clear and warm in the morning, with gradually increasing clouds and gradual cooling. Snow will harden overnight and then soften again during the day, especially in the mid-elevations. The surface is very hard, firn-like in the morning, gradually softening in the S during the day. It will start to gradually cool down in the afternoon, with snow showers expected in local places, which will be blown to the S sector. Snow cover is well below average.

Tendency

Weakly rising with the expected weather development.
