Warning from MET Norway for Helgeland, Saltfjellet, Salten, Lofoten and Ofoten

2

Snow, yellow level (MET)

Published: Valid: from 08.02.2022 11:00 to 11.02.2022 00:00

Warning

Snow

Consequence

Vulnerable infrastructure can be affected due to accumulation of snow. Travel time may increase on some journeys. Local driving conditions may become difficult. Blowing snow at higher altitudes causes reduced visibility and possibly convoys and/or closed roads.

Advice

Vulnerable installations and objects should be protected. Allow some extra time for transportation and driving. Use tires fit for winter conditions and use caution while driving.

Description

From Tuesday it is expected much snow sleet and snow showers in Nordland. It is expected local amounts in the order of 20-40cm during 24 hours, but there will be large local differences. More snow is expected in mountain areas. Along the coast south of Salten some of the precipitation will fall as sleet, and snow amounts can vary.
