Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Friday 27.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful on steep slopes with soft and wet snow and in sun exposed terrain with fresh wind slabs in the alpine. Keep distance to cornices and areas with glide-cracks.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger 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 26. May 2022

Store deler av snødekket er smelteomvandlet og homogent, men søndag ble det meldt om mye vann i snøen under 1300 moh.
Det er fortsatt mye snø i fjellet. Snøgrensa er omtrent på 500 moh., høyere i sørvendte hellinger.

Mountain weather

Thursday 26. May 2022

20 mm precipitation, up to 25 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1400 m a.s.l Thursday night. Fresh breeze from west. -3 °C to 4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Friday 27. May 2022

3-5 mm precipitation. Rain up to 1200 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Calm/light breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -5 °C to 4 °C at 1400 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

Hvis det blir solinnstråling, så vil det kunne være lett å løse ut løssnøskred i den våte snøen. Nysnøen i de høyestliggende områdene kan også bli ustabil hvis sola får tak.

Glideskred kan løsne der det er forhold for det, for eksempel der underlaget er svaberg. Unngå terreng under glidesprekker.
