Avalanche warning for region Tromsø Sunday 24.04.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. But be careful in steep slopes with wet snow and in areas with wind slabs at higher elevations.

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).

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)

Saturday 23. April 2022

Tidligere i uken var snødekket vått til ca 600 moh. og fuktet til fjelltopphøyde. Litt nysnø kan ha kommet høyt til fjells fredag/lørdag, ellers er det nok fuktig eller gjenfryst gammel snøoverflate mange steder.

I slutten av mars utvikla det seg et kantkornlag rundt skarelag nede i snødekket, men dette virker nå å være avrundet eller svært vanskelig å påvirke de fleste steder.

Mountain weather

Saturday 23. April 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from southwest. -8 °C to 3 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Sunday 24. April 2022

4-6 mm precipitation. Rain up to 700 m a.s.l during renoon. Fresh breeze from southwest, changing to breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -3 °C to 2 °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

Generelt stabile forhold, men noe regn i lavlandet, gjør at naturlig utløste våte løssnøskred i enkelte heng ikke kan utelukkes. Over ca. 700 moh. kan det i enkelte heng dannes fokksnøflak som er lette å løse ut, men disse stabiliserer seg raskt i relativt milde temperaturer.

Det finnes fortsatt et vedvarende svakt lag i snødekket enkelte plasser, men de fleste steder er det vanskelig eller svært vanskelig å påvirke.
