Avalanche warning for region Helgeland Sunday 07.01.2024

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in and close to terrain traps and on steep slopes until the new snow has stabilized. Be aware that persistent weak layers can be hidden in the snow pack.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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 6. January 2024

Det har vore lite nedbør og låge temperaturar dei siste dagane. Tidlegare vind frå SØ har danna fokksnøflak. I terreng som er skjerma frå vinden finn ein rim over laussnø. Den eldre snøen har vore utsett for mildvêr og det er skare i låglandet.

Det finst svake lag av kantkorn både ved bakken og høgare oppe i snøen.

Larudag vert det observert eit tynt skarelag og kantkorn i snøoverflata.

Mountain weather

Saturday 6. January 2024

Little to no precipitation. Calm/light breeze from southeast. -23 °C to -14 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Sunday 7. January 2024

4 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 300 m a.s.l during the evening. Fresh breeze from southwest. -13 °C to -4 °C at 1100 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

Litt nysnø og noko vind kan føre til ustabile fokksnøflak i leheng. I låglandet der ein får regn på snøen kan det løysne små naturleg utløyste snøskred. Nokre stader kan det vere mogelg å løyse ut skred i svake lag av kantkorn men det har vore lite respons i desse laga i det siste.
