Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Tuesday 03.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Strong winds on Monday night may have formed wind slabs. Colder temperatures are stabilising the snowpack. Snow showers may cause large localised differences.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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 2. May 2022

Den siste tiden har vært preget av bygevær. Det har vært store forskjeller i nysnømengde og vindstyrke innad i regionen, og snødekket kan variere mye innen korte avstander.


Det er observert påbegynnende dannelse av kantkorn mellom tidligere mildværskare og nysnø fra forrige uke.

Det er i helgen blitt trigget flere små flakskred.

Fredag meldes det om 30 cm nysnø siste døgn på Senja.

Mountain weather

Monday 2. May 2022

6-10 mm precipitation. Rain up to 200 m a.s.l during renoon. Breeze from southwest, changing to moderate gale from the north during the afternoon. -7 °C to 1 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 3. May 2022

4-8 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Fresh breeze from north, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -8 °C to -2 °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

Skredfaren er knyttet til høyder hvor nysnøen fortsatt er tørr. Kortvarig, kraftig vind mandag kveld kan ha dannet ustabile fokksnøflak.

Bygevær kan gjøre at det lokalt kan være store forskjeller i nysnømengde.

Synkende temperaturer gjør at snødekket vil stabilisere seg.
