Oppdatert informasjon -

Store deler av Troms er nedgradert fra 23.03 kl 15.00. Det blir nå kaldere.

Consequence

Slushflows may be expected. Exposed railways and roads may be closed. Debris flows may reach the valley bottom even if they are triggered high in the terrain.

Advice

Keep water paths and culverts free of snow, ice, gravel, waste, twigs and leaves. Clogged waterways with dammed water may cause landslides.

Description

Slushflows may be expected. Exposed railways and roads may be closed. Slushflows are most likely in coastal and/or low-lying areas below 500 m a.s.l. The snow may in some places be fully water-saturated. Slushflows are triggered even in relatively gentle slopes, where water accumulates. Slushflows follow terrain depressions and may develop into debris flows. Landslides may be expected. Exposed railways and roads may be closed.
