Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Tuesday 09.06.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, bud avoid terrain below glide cracks and steep terrain with wet snow.

Avalanche problems

Glide avalanches

on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Wet snow/melting near the ground

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Loose snow

Below you can see a description of the current snow cover information and current weather forecast in the mountains. If your observations deviate greatly from what is described here, the warning will not necessarily apply either. Always make your own judgments or stay away from avalanche terrain.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Monday 8. June 2020

Snøoverflaten er smelteomvandlet og våt etter flere dager med varme temperaturer. Store deler av snøen i solvendte sider er smeltet bort.

Generelt er snødekket smelteomvandlet og drenerer vannet godt.

Ingen rapporterte skred siste tre døgn.

Det har smeltet mye de siste dagene. Det finnes skavler og glidesprekker enkelte steder.

Mountain weather

Monday 8. June 2020

12 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Moderate gale from southwest, changing to fresh breeze from the southwest during renoon. 2 °C to 9 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 9. June 2020

1-4 mm precipitation. Breeze from northwest. 0 °C to 4 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Advice

The bulletin is a planning tool and may differ from the actual situation. Always make your own evaluation. To be 100 % avalanche safe, avoid all avalanche terrain.

Avalanche risk assessment

Nedbøren har mest sannsynlig kommet som regn i hele regionen, og ikke nysnø som tidligere varslet. Det er generelt stabile forhold, men glideskred, skavlbrudd og enkelte våte skred i bratt terreng utgjør faremomenter fortsatt. Skredfaren avtar til faregrad 1-liten.
Det er lite observasjoner fra regionen og det er mulig at skredfaren er høyere i deler av regionen. Dette er aktuelt hvis det har kommet mye nysnø i høyden eller effekten av mye regn er undervurdert i varslet.
