Warning from MET Norway for Helgeland, Saltfjellet, Salten, Ofoten og Troms

2

Strong wind gusts, yellow level (MET)

Published: Valid: from 22.01.2021 18:00 to 23.01.2021 06:00

Warning

Wind gusts

Consequence

Loose items may be taken by the wind. Possibly cancelled departures for ferry, plane, or other transport. Bridges may be closed. Some journeys may have longer travel times. The power supply may be impacted, due to tree(s) falling over. Some roads may be closed due to trees or other objects in the road. Blowing snow causes reduced visibility and possibly convoys and/or closed roads. The strong wind may cause locally high waves in fjords and lakes.

Advice

Secure loose objects. Avoid unnecessary journeys to exposed places. Follow advice and check status from transport operators. Check road reports (175.no). Be careful in coastal areas.

Description

Friday evening and early Saturday morning it is still expected locally strong wind gusts from east and southeast up to 30-35 m/s
