Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Monday 26.04.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but be careful in steep terrain, especially where wind deposited slabs are thin or soft; a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here.

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)

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)

Sunday 25. April 2021

De siste dagene har det kommet noen få centimeter med nysnø som har lagt seg over lag med smelteformer fra forrige uke. I lavlandet har snødekket blitt gjennomfuktet i alle himmelretninger. I skyggesider er det et tynt lag med smelteskare øverst i den gamle snøpakken.

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.

Mountain weather

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.

Monday 26. April 2021

2-4 mm precipitation. Breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the northeast during the evening. -10 °C to -3 °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

Noe påfyll av nysnø kombinert med litt vind gjør at det kan dannes små, ferske fokksnøflak i enkelte leheng.

Det gamle snødekket vil fortsatt være vanskelig å påvirke, men noen steder kan det være mulig å løse ut små, våte løssnøskred.
