Avalanche warning for region Helgeland Tuesday 03.05.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Large avalanches can easily be triggered. Snow showers can cause large localised differences.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

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)

Monday 2. May 2022

Mildværet søndag har trolig fuktet snødekket opp til omtrent 800 - 900 moh. Mandag er det snøbyger til havnivå.

Sist uke var preget av bygevær med nedbør som snø kombinert med vind.

Det har vært store forskjeller i nysnømengde og vindstyrke innad i regionen.

Lørdag morgen ble det observert flere små, våte løssnøskred på Øyfjellet i Mosjøen.

Mountain weather

Monday 2. May 2022

20 mm precipitation, up to 35 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 300 m a.s.l Monday night. Breeze from west, changing to gale from the northwest during the afternoon. -7 °C to -2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 3. May 2022

5 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as snow. Strong breeze from northwest, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during renoon. -8 °C to -4 °C at 1100 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

Skredfaren avhenger litt av hvor mye nysnø som kom mandag. Blir det full pott kan det være fare for store skred.

Kraftig vind kan ha flyttet store mengder snø til leheng.

Ytterligere påfyll tirsdag gjør at det fortsatt kan være lett å løse ut skred i noen heng.

Bygevær gjør at det trolig er store lokale forskjeller.
