Avalanche risk assessment

"Varselet er basert på et enklere datagrunnlag enn regionale varsler og utgis kun for faregrad 4 og 5."
I mest utsatt område kommer det svært store mengder nedbør. I de fleste områder kommer nedbøren som regn og de områder som har snødekke får utfordring med våte skred.
I de høyeste områdene kommer nedbøren som snø først på dagen, men mildvær utover dagen fører til at de fleste skred vil være våte.
Glideskred kan også forekomme.
