Noen kommuner i Finnmark er tatt med i varselet.

Consequence

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

Advice

Keep away from steep slopes, as well as streams and rivers with high discharge. Keep water paths and culverts free of snow, ice, gravel, waste, twigs and leaves. Clogged waterways with dammed water may cause landslides.

Description

Sun, high temperatures and windy conditions in Finnmark in addition to rain in Troms will causes significant snowmelting. 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.
