Slushflows warning yellow level for parts of Vestland fylke, Rogaland and Agder

2

Yellow level

Published: Valid: from 25.12.2022 07:00 to 26.12.2022 06:59
Next forecast before:
  • Danger ongoing: Sunday morning 25. Dec. 2022
  • Danger decrease: Monday morning 26. Dec. 2022

Consequence

Slushflows may be expected. Exposed railways and roads may be closed.

Advice

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

Description

Risk of slushflows is especially high in areas with more than 50 cm snow. 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. Heavy rain is expected. Relatively high temperatures and windy conditions causes significant snowmelting.
