Avalanche warning for region Heiane Monday 08.04.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but danger of wet avalanches in sunexposed mountainsides.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches 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 7. April 2019

Det har vore varmegrader godt over fjelltopphøgde siste døgnet, og snødekket ber preg av dette. Enkelte stader er den nyaste snøen i ferd med å bli grovkorna etter varmepåvirkinga siste dagane. Det er tynt snødekke/bart under ca 800 moh. Den eldre snøen er i hovudsak omdanna og stabilisert. Toppar og ryggar er avblåst.

Det er observert sprekkar og glideskred på bratte svaberg.

Mountain weather

Sunday 7. April 2019

Monday 8. April 2019

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from northeast. -7 °C to 2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Nattefrost og vind frå nordaust vil kjøle ned snødekket, men i soleksponerte fjellsider vil ein i løpet av dagen kunne forvente mindre våte laussnøskred.

Vekslande temperatur med klårveir og utstråling som gir nattefrost og høge temperaturar om dagen virkar stabiliserande for snødekket, og gir ein gradvis overgang til grovkorna snø.
