Danger level 4 - High avalanche danger

Published:

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.

35 mm precipitation, up to 70 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as rain. Moderate gale from south, changing to moderate gale from the west during renoon. -1 °C to 4 °C at 700 m a.s.l. 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

Svært mye nedbør med høy snøgrense og kraftig vind gir fare for store naturlig utløste skred i mange heng.
Nedbøren kan tidvis komme som regn opp mot 1000 moh. Her finnes både mye løs snø i lavere områder og lune formasjoner, samt flakdannelse etter mye vind de foregående dagene. Mye regn i den nye snøen gir stor fare for våte skred i mange bratte heng. Både løssnøskred og flakskred er aktuelt. Skred kan bli store og nå helt ut i flatt terreng.

Varselet er basert på et enklere datagrunnlag enn regionale varsler og utgis kun for faregrad 4 og 5.
