Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Friday 12.06.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Solar radiation and higher day temperatures may result in natural avalanche activity. Keep distance to run out zones for avalanches and to cornices and areas with glide cracks.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

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

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)

Thursday 11. June 2020

Snøen er for det meste våt og drenerer vannet godt. Snøoverflaten er for det meste fast.

Over skoggrensen er det fortsatt mye snø igjen, særlig i forsenkninger som samler snø. Langs rygger og på topper er det bart.

Under skoggrensen blir det stadig mindre snø.

Mountain weather

Thursday 11. June 2020

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from northwest. 1 °C to 7 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 12. June 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from west. 2 °C to 12 °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

Temperaturen øker ytterligere, og utover dagen vil det bli lengre perioder med sol. Løssnøskred ventes i bratt terreng, særlig i høyden. Store deler av regionen har likevel stabile forhold. Snøen drenerer godt både regn- og smeltevann.

Enkelte steder hvor oppsprukket snø ligger på bratte sva, er det fare for glideskred. Det er vanskelig å forutsi når slike skred går.

Vær observant der det er skavler. Disse kan knekke og løse ut skred i fjellsiden under.
