General avalanche danger in the area of the Municipality of Tržič will be LOW below 2000 m, level 1 on the five-level European scale. Above 2000 m it will be locally level 2.
In the last two days, 15 cm of snow fell at night at 1600 m, slightly more higher in the high mountains. In the mid-mountains, snow fell on a wet old snow surface and bonded relatively well. In the high mountains, above 1800 m, it was slightly colder and drier snow fell. The westerly wind transported snow into drifts and built cornices. Snow settled during the day, also melting lower in the mid-mountains.
During the day, especially on sun-exposed slopes, some small avalanches of wet bonded snow released spontaneously. Below 1300 m, snow that fell in the last few days has almost melted, except where the wind drifted it into drifts. Ridges are bare in places, elsewhere scoured to the old snow base. Northern slopes of the high mountains, especially in narrow gullies, have somewhat more wind-packed snow.
Tomorrow, Monday, air temperature at 1500 m midday around -2°C, at 2000 m around -7°C. Strong to gale-force northerly wind blowing. On Tuesday it will be clear and cool further. In the morning strong northerly wind will still blow, in the afternoon it will ease somewhat. Air temperature at 1500 m around -7°C, at 2000 m around -11°C. On Tuesday morning it will be cold and the zero isotherm height will be very low.
Today, Sunday, snow is still wet up to approximately 1800 m. Higher up, a crust has already formed. Already tomorrow, Monday morning, the snow surface above 1100 m will freeze and a crust will form that will not bear human weight. Ridges will be icy. Under the crust, snow will still be wet tomorrow, but on Tuesday the snowpack will slowly start cooling through due to low temperatures and northerly wind. Snow will transform faster on sun-exposed slopes, where solar radiation will have an effect.
In the mid-mountains on sun-exposed slopes, snow may surface refreeze and spontaneous sliding may occur from sufficiently steep grassy slopes. In the high mountains, weak layers are still present in the old snowpack.
Avalanche danger will be level 1 below 2000 m, locally level 2 above 2000 m. Ridges and slopes will be icy, so use equipment suitable for such conditions. On northern slopes of the high mountains, especially in narrow gullies, there is locally wind-packed snow that is not yet settled. Be careful on these sections.
