Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Monday 10.04.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Rain gives increased danger of wet avalanches. Wind transport of snow can occur in the alpine but is likely limited by the amount of fresh snow. A persistent layer of facets is buried deeper in the snowpack but is generally hard or very hard to trigger.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on some 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 9. April 2023

I høyden kom det noe nysnø på en snøoverflaten som fra før var ganske hard og avblåst. I lavlandet er snøen våt etter mildvær og sol siste uken, og regn fredag-lørdag.

For to uker siden ble det dannet svake lag med kantkorn på og rett under overflaten i alle himmelretninger, disse var senest aktive onsdag denne uken. Kantkornlaget under mildværsskare fra begynnelsen av mars er fortsatt intakt, men er generelt vanskelig å påvirke.

Mountain weather

Sunday 9. April 2023

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from west. -5 °C to 0 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 10. April 2023

0 mm precipitation, up to 5 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 400 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Fresh breeze from west, changing to strong breeze from the west during the afternoon. -6 °C to -1 °C at 700 m a.s.l. 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

Mildvær og noen regnbyger vil kunne føre til enkelte små løssnøskred. I høyden vil økende vind kunne flytte på noe snø, men generelt er det lite tørr og løs snø igjen å flytte på.

Svake lag finnes dypere i snødekket, men virker vanskelig eller svært vanskelig å påvirke.
