Debris avalanches, debris flows and slush slides warning yellow level for Midtnorge

2

Yellow level

Published: Valid: from 15.12.2021 07:00 to 16.12.2021 06:59
Next forecast before:
  • Danger ongoing: Wednesday early morning 15. Dec. 2021
  • Danger decrease: Wednesday evening 15. Dec. 2021
  • Height: 0 - 1200 moh

Consequence

Landslides 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

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