Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Sunday 25.04.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
There could be small wind slabs in the most exposed formations.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Buried weak layer of new snow

Below you can see a description of the current snow cover information and current weather forecast in the mountains. If your observations deviate greatly from what is described here, the warning will not necessarily apply either. Always make your own judgments or stay away from avalanche terrain.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Saturday 24. April 2021

De siste dagene har det kommet noen få centimeter med nysnø som har lagt seg over smelteskaren fra tidligere i uka. I begynnelsen av uka var det plussgrader og litt regn helt til topps. I lavlandet har snødekket blitt gjennomfuktet i alle himmelretninger. I nordlige deler av regionen er det generelt lite snø med en del oppstikkende stein på rygger og hauger.

Det finnes vedvarende svake lag av kantkorn i tilknytning til skarelag og ved bakken. I lavlandet er lagene gjennomfuktet. Det skal mye til for å få noen respons i de svake lagene nå, men det kan være mulig der snødekket er tynt.

Mountain weather

Saturday 24. April 2021

1-4 mm precipitation. Breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the northeast during renoon. -8 °C to -4 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Sunday 25. April 2021

0 mm precipitation, up to 5 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the west during the afternoon. -8 °C to -4 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Advice

The bulletin is a planning tool and may differ from the actual situation. Always make your own evaluation. To be 100 % avalanche safe, avoid all avalanche terrain.

Avalanche risk assessment

Generelt stabile forhold. Bygevær gjør at det kan legge seg opp ferske fokksnøflak i enkelte heng.
