Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Friday 18.03.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Warm daytime-temperatures and solar radiation give increased danger of wet avalanches.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily 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)

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 17. March 2022

Sol og plussgrader tidligere i uka har påvirket snødekket høyt til fjells. De siste dagene har det vært mer skyet og dermed har snødekket fått fryse til i høyden, mens det fortsatt er fuktig i lavlandet.

Det finnes vedvarende svake lag både i forbindelse med skarelag og langs bakken mange steder i høyden. Disse har den siste tiden vært vanskelige å påvirke.

Mountain weather

Thursday 17. March 2022

No precipitation. Strong breeze from southwest, changing to fresh breeze from the south during the evening. -7 °C to -2 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 18. March 2022

Little to no precipitation. Moderate gale from south, changing to gale from the southwest during the afternoon. -7 °C to -1 °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

Fortsatt mildvær og like forhold som tidligere gir liten endring i skredfaren. Noe mer skyet vær fører til mindre tilfrysing om natten, men også mindre solinnstråling og oppvarming av snødekket om dagen. Dersom sola skulle få litt tak kan det utover ettermiddagen fortsatt være mulig å løse ut små skred i den våte snøen enkelte steder. Husk at også små skred kan gi konsekvenser nær terrengfeller.
