Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Monday 23. April 2018

Mildvær har gått heilt opp til dei høgaste fjelltoppane. Snøoverflata består i hovudsak av smelteomdanna snø, men det vil vere nysnø over ca. 800 moh. I sørvendte sider og i andre himmelretningar under 1000 moh er det våt snø med lite lagdeling som drenerer vatn godt.

Dei stadane høgt til fjells der det framleis er lagdelt snø kan det vere kantkornlag.

Det har vore mykje snøsmelting den siste tida og snøgrensa stig.

Mountain weather

Monday 23. April 2018

15 mm precipitation, up to 35 mm in the most exposed areas. Breeze from south, changing to strong breeze from the southwest during the evening. -3 °C to 4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Tuesday 24. April 2018

15 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from southwest, changing to fresh breeze from the west during the evening. -5 °C to 1 °C at 1400 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

Kaldare temperaturar er gunstig for stabilisering av snødekket. Under mildværsgrensa kan det framleis gå våte laussnø- og glideskred der det kjem regn på snødekket. Over mildværsgrensa kan det danne seg nysnøflak i leområder mot nord og aust som følge av nedbør som snø mandag og tirsdag i kombinasjon med vind. Vedvarande svake lag er vanskeleg å påverke.
